I actually highly discourage this one. I've heard nothing but negative things about it. Notable quotes being, "Someone who writes a book titled, "The Birth of the Mind" is either incredibly brilliant or an incredible bullshitter...and I believe I know where to place this one..." Haven't read it personally though -- from what I have seen though seems very Pinker'ian.
