Synopsis
Steven Pinker, a master of science communication, explores the deep connections between language and human nature in "The Stuff of Thought." He examines how our everyday use of words, from prepositions to swear words, reveals fundamental aspects of our minds, our concepts of space and time, and our social relationships. This engaging book offers fresh perspectives on everything from the psychology of swearing to the ambiguities of dating, all explained with Pinker's characteristic clarity and wit.
