Review title: At least he was right about mentalese! Product review: It's a good high level overview, especially of the Chomskyan revolution (and who wants to read Chomsky?) Pinker does a disservice in presenting speculation as fact, but in this he is just being faithful to the dominant scientific-philosophical paradigm. I bought the hardback in 1995, but couldn't bear to read it until recently. His explanation of how the brain is a Turing information processor, without invoking the homunculus, is particularly egregious. BUT: He is right about mentalese. The operations of consciousness are rule-governed, like a grammar. It has nothing to do with biology but everything to do with the structure of consciousness. Since Fodor is unreadable, Pinker is a good entry point to the discussion of mentalese, which everyone should understand. Pinker would be a good writer for the Economist or similar serious magazine, but must be taken with a large grain of salt otherwise.

Review title: Sensational Product review: If you like the Traveling Wilbury's/ Beatles with a touch of ELO you will love this. Great production from the sixth Beatle Jeff Lynne and wonderful guitar and singing from George. If you enjoyed Cloud Nine it really is a continuation of that album, maybe it should have been titled Cloud Nine Part 2. We are very fortunate to receive this album and as Jeff Lynne stated there are apparently enough songs in the can for a couple more albums.So please Jeff roll them out asap.Buy it it's a classic

Review title: Worst Book I Have Read in a Long Time Product review: When I think of The Lady and the Monk, I can't think of one coherent theme in the book. It seems to be more about the incoherent ramblings of a Santa Barbra hippie than a treatise on travel or finding one's self. I feel dumber for having read this and I hope Mr. Iyer never writes anything again.
