Steven Pinker is a fantastic writer, as all of his popular science writing shows. This is not popular science, but you can tell it's Pinker.

This review is addressed mainly at general scientific interest readers who liked Stephen Pinker's popular bestsellers like [[ASIN:0142003344 The Blank Slate]], [[ASIN:0143114247 The Stuff of Thought]] and [[ASIN:0143122010 The Better Angels of Our Nature]]. This book of selected articles covers much of the same ideas.

Steven gives some very honest barbs about the peer review process here, as well as some wonderful reasons for more authors to "go mass" as well as contribute to turbocharged sites like edge dot org instead of, or in addition to journals.The articles dusted off here (inline citations vary between 1960 and 1980, with some 90's) are an eclectic collection from all of Steve's favorite and most popular topics, including developmental, AI, tons of Chomsky/grammar controversies argued deftly from both sides, etc.
