Customer Reviews

Great study using layman's terms. A must-read!

I read this book about 10 years ago, and have lent it to so many people, I finally lost track of it. I still want it, so I ordered it again. I want to share it with my kids. The writing is simple, but explains a lot. It explains HOW we know what we know, not WHAT we know. It talks about the development of the human mind vs. all other animals, how we learn, and how we came up with such fantastic inventions and discoveries. It's the best bbok on the subject that I've ever read.
