New and forthcoming books from the MIT Press

“The fans of our cognitive science, neuroscience, and psychology lists are adventurous souls. These are readers who venture beyond disciplinary boundaries into challenging topics that pique their interest, regardless of their own academic background. MIT Press readers want the books that are ‘not on the syllabus,’ so to speak. Required reading is important, but so is suggested reading. And banned books are the best of all.”
Philip Laughlin, Senior Acquisitions Editor, Cognitive Science, Philosophy, Linguistics, and Bioethics
