Publisher's Notes
"The Quantum Brain is the first great book of the 21st century–and the first definitively 21st century book. It will be read with admiration and amazement."–George Gilder, bestselling author and publisher of the Gilder Technology Report "Many authors have written about one or two of the topics covered in The Quantum Brain. Jeffrey Satinover’s book is unique in trying to tie everything together."–Michael E. Kellman, Professor of Theoretical Chemistry, University of Oregon "Thoroughly researched . . . and told as a gripping tale, thanks to Dr. Satinover’s . . . gift for the narrative. A marvelous introduction to the most fascinating question the human brain can address: its own working."–R. Shankar, Professor of Physics and Applied Physics, Yale University "A thrilling journey through the world of brain research. The author has set new standards for popular science writing by making arcane topics . . . easy to follow. A tapestry of insights."–Jack Tuszynski, Professor of Physics, University of Alberta "I wish I had written this visionary book."–Professor Hugo de Garis, Head, Starbrain Project, Starlab’s Artificial Brain Project

How the Mind Works
by Steven Pinker
The human mind is fantastically complex--we often take its abilities for granted, yet few would argue that any amount of technology will ever duplicate human intelligence. How does the human mind work? How do we see in three dimensions? Why do we fall in love? How do we remember names and faces? How is it, indeed, that we ponder the nature of our own consciousness?...In this bold, extraordinary book, Steven Pinker, one of the world’s leading cognitive scientists and author of the widely praised bestseller The Language Instinct, tackles the intricacies of the human mind to decipher how we think, feel, and act. Using "reverse-engineering"--determining what natural selection designed the mind to accomplish in a hunting-and-gathering environment--Pinker explains how the mind stores and uses information, a process that allowed our ancestors to understand and outsmart objects, animals, plants, and each other....How the Mind Works makes sense of some of the more bewildering aspects of everyday life, such as: why is beauty important to us? How is it that we are moved to tears or laughter? Why do we feel that a run of heads makes the coin more likely to land tails? Why is self-restraint so difficult? This is a witty and compelling work, synthesizing the best of cognitive science and evolutionary biology.
