It is published by Simon & Schuster, not by a scholarly press. That doesn't mean it isn't good (nothing *prevents* trade books from being good). It just means that it isn't published by a scholarly press and, thus, went through a different process. Try the major university presses. The best history of science press out there is University of Chicago. Johns Hopkins Press is good too. Harvard as well. > > Oh boy, Stephen Pinker and Robert Sternberg are both going > to kick your butt! ;-) > > I suspect they both know exactly what they've been doing. Cashing in.
