A unique overview of the human language faculty at all levels of organization. Language is not only one of the most complex cognitive functions that we command, it is also the aspect of the mind that makes us uniquely human. Research suggests that the human brain exhibits a language readiness not found in the brains of other species. This volume brings together contributions fr...(展开全部)

Why do we behave the way we do? Biologist Paul Ehrlich suggests that although people share a common genetic code, these genes "do not shout commands at us . . . at the very most, they whisper suggestions." He argues that human nature is not so much the result of genetic coding; rather, it is heavily influenced by cultural conditioning and environmental factors. With personal an...(展开全部)

埃力克（1932— ），美国生物学家、生态学家、人口统计学家、教育家。1957年获堪萨斯大学博士学位，现为斯坦福大学生物科学系人口学教授、保护生物学中心主任。1968年因《人口炸弹》一书、提出人口增长与有限资源的告诫而成名。他是美国科学院院士、美国艺术与科学院院士，2012年当选伦敦皇家学会会员。获约翰·缪尔奖、克拉夫奖（生态学的“诺贝尔奖”）、世界生态学奖、蓝色星球奖、杰出生态学家奖等众多奖项。有《蝴蝶与星球》、《生物学与社会》、《种族炸弹》、《地球》、《新世界，新思维》、《对科学和理性的背叛》及《钢索上的人类》等三十余部著作。尽管他的预言饱受争议，他仍然坚信人口过多对人类生存和地球环境构成直接威胁。

埃尔温·薛定谔(德语：Erwin Schrödinger, 1887年8月12日——1961年1月4日)，著名的奥地利理论物理学家，量子力学的重要奠基人之一，同时在固体比热、统计热力学、原子光谱等方面享有成就。1926年他提出薛定谔方程，为量子力学奠定了坚实的基础。他想出薛定谔猫思想实验，试图证明量子力学在宏观条件下的不完备性。1933年因薛定谔方程获诺贝尔物理学奖。

A leading artificial intelligence researcher lays out a new approach to AI that will enable us to coexist successfully with increasingly intelligent machines In the popular imagination, superhuman artificial intelligence is an approaching tidal wave that threatens not just jobs and human relationships, but civilization itself. Conflict between humans and machines is seen as ine...(展开全部)

Emotional Intelligence was an international phenomenon, appearing on the New York Times bestseller list for over a year and selling more than five million copies worldwide. Now, once again, Daniel Goleman has written a groundbreaking synthesis of the latest findings in biology and brain science, revealing that we are “wired to connect” and the surprisingly deep impact of our re...(展开全部)

1/3 of this book covers basic conditioning as seen in all animals, including humans. Much of this was established experimentally with rats and pigeons but the discussion here is in terms of humans. There are no diagrams or pictures in this section, which can get rather dry. The remaining 2/3 of the book covers topics associated more with humans such as thinking, private events,...(展开全部)

In Uncivilised Genes: Human Evolution and the Urban Paradox, Gustav Milne explores how we can reconfigure our lifestyles and urban environments, based on an understanding of our prehistoric past, in order to bring about a richer future for mankind. We evolved as hunter-gatherers over a period of more than three million years: living off the land within small tribal societies in...(展开全部)
