The Political Mind: Why You Can't Understand 21st-Century American Politics with an 18th-Century Brain 16 reviews George Lakoff
Viking Adult, 2008
Useful - But Only If You Use It
+ Framed again + Abstract but good
Few people know enough about neuroscience to agree or disagree with Lakoff's description of its discoveries, but nearly everyone can use what this book teaches as a recipe for dealing with people who, to us, seem irrational in their political choices.

Vintage, 2006
Reading Material for More Than Just Sinatra Fans...
