Biomedical and life sciences

“At the MIT Press, we specialize in books that are interdisciplinary, and our authors are often building bridges between academic disciplines-for instance, an author who is both a philosopher and a neuroscientist, a linguist and a computer scientist, a physician and a creative writer, or a psychologist who is a poet and translator.”
Philip Laughlin, Senior Acquisitions Editor, Cognitive Science, Philosophy, Linguistics, and Bioethics
