Joseph LeDoux’s The Emotional Brain offers a “vivid and convincing”
description of the central mechanisms of emotion, said New Scientist reviewer
Keith Oatley (4 Jan 1997, p 36). This “terrifically good book” is now in
paperback. Also in paperback this month is Steven Mithen’s The Prehistory of the
Mind, described by Roger Lewin as “a wonderful start to a new and productive
way of thinking” (25 October 1996, p 44). The Emotional Brain is published
by Touchstone Books, $14, ISBN 0684836599. The Prehistory of the Mind is
published by Phoenix House, £7.99, ISBN 075380204X.
