hardcover. Condition: Very Good in Dustjacket. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. y. New York. 2007. September 2007. Viking Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 9780670063277. 499 pages. hardcover. keywords: Language Psychology Philosophy. DESCRIPTION - New York Times bestselling author Steven Pinker possesses th…at 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 readers of everything from The Selfish Gene and Blink to Eats, Shoots & Leaves. inventory #42368.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -From one of the world's most celebrated intellectuals, a 'fascinating' (Financial Times), brilliantly insightful work that explains how we think about each other's thoughts about each other's thoughts, ad infinitum.It sounds impossible, but Steven Pinker shows that we do it all the time. Thi…s awareness is called common knowledge, and it has a momentous impact on our social, political, and economic lives. Common knowledge is necessary for coordination, for making arbitrary but complementary choices like driving on the right and coalescing behind a political leader or movement. It's also necessary for social coordination: everything from meeting up at a time and place to forming enduring bonds of friendship, romance, or authority. Humans have a sixth sense for common knowledge, and we create it with signals like laughter, tears, blushing, eye contact, and blunt speech. But people also may strive to avoid common knowledge-to ensure that even if everyone knows something, they can't know that everyone else knows they know it. And so we get rituals like benign hypocrisy, veiled bribes and threats, sexual innuendo, and pretending not to see the elephant in the room. Pinker shows how the hidden logic of common knowledge can make sense of many of life's enigmas: financial bubbles and crashes, revolutions that seem to come from out of nowhere, the eruption of cancel culture, and even the awkwardness of a first date.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The end of history did not bring peace. It brought the strongman back. This time disguised as an oligarch, a technocrat, a financial alchemist, an AI militant or an AI-augmented executive. This new breed is patient, humorless, and clinically allergic to accountability. They do not need armie…s. They need only meetings that never end, memos that never arrive, crises that never resolve, and slogans elastic enough to mean whatever is convenient this quarter. For forty-one years Enver Hoxha ruled a country encircled by enemies using nothing more complex than silence, boredom, and the calibrated distribution of fear. He died old, medicated, and still obeyed. No one has improved on his method-because no one has needed to. This is not another leadership book about vision, empathy, or "unlocking human potential."It is the distilled, field-tested operating system for durable power in parliaments, boardrooms, ministries, and machine-learning pipelines. Ten laws. Zero illusions. How to turn indecision into depth.How to weaponize silence.How to grow hierarchies that devour the competent.How to turn crisis into oxygen.How to speak for hours and commit to nothing.The age of the polite technocrat is over.The strongman has upgraded. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
