New York Times best-selling author Steven Pinker possesses that rare combination of scientific aptitude and verbal eloquence that enables him to provide lucid explanations of deep and powerful ideas. His previous books, including the Pulitzer Prize finalist The Blank Slate, have catapulted him into the limelight as one of today's most important and popular science writers.

Now, in The Stuff of Thought, Pinker marries two of the subjects he knows best: language and human nature. The result is a fascinating look at how our words explain our nature. What does swearing reveal about our emotions? Why does innuendo disclose something about relationships? Pinker reveals how our use of prepositions and tenses taps into peculiarly human concepts of space and time, and how our nouns and verbs speak to our notions of matter. Even the names we give our babies have important things to say about our relations to our children and to society.

With his signature wit and style, Pinker takes on scientific questions like whether language affects thought, as well as forays into everyday life: why is bulk e-mail called spam, and how do romantic comedies get such mileage out of the ambiguities of dating?

The Stuff of Thought is a brilliantly crafted and highly readable work that will appeal to fans of everything from The Selfish Gene and Blink to Eats, Shoots & Leaves.

What solaris said is correct, some tracks are not of quality and the whole thins is a bit of a hassle to deal with. Thanks, UL, but I'll look elsewhere.

I'm not sure that I like the audio being broken into all those tracks. It's very awkward to listen as tracks end mid-word. Audio quality and volume vary from track to track. Some of the tracks skip here and there i.e.: the end of track 10 on CD1.
Track 1 of CD1 does not play at all for me. Players say it's broken.\n
I appreciate the effort all the same. Thanks for the upload.
