For the first time, an author with peer-reviewed published work in neuroscience, comparative religion, theoretical biology and many facets of cognitive science takes on the Big Issues of science and religion, as well as the current paralysis in real innovation. This book ends with a remarkable conclusion; if attention is paid to ontology, to levels of being, algorithms work better and damaging culture clashes in 21st century society disappear.

NuallÁin (Stanford U.) presents an introductory textbook for undergraduate cognitive science courses. He devotes explanatory chapters to what he views as the constituent elements of the interdisciplinary field: philosophy, psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and ethology. Finally, using the preceding elements and a concept he calls "symbol-systems," he sketches out his own theory of the foundations of cognitive science. Distributed in the US by ISBS.

Being Human: The Search for Order

We live at a time of unparallelled environmental and moral crisis. Not only do we not believe anything but, despite exponential advances in information production, we do not know very much either. This book is a guide for everyone who, understandably, feels perplexed. Presenting an explanation of recent findings in science and their relationship with society and politics as we enter the third millennium, the book also seeks to provide guidance towards responsible political action in this current crisis. From new technology's power to preserve the status quo, to the true impetus behind the Human Genome Project, Sean Ó Nualláin brings to topical concerns some much needed clarity. Complete with reader-friendly summaries to current thought in the biological, physical, and social sciences, the book is designed to be accessible to a general readership, it should also appeal to all those working or studying in the Sciences.
