- Nominator's statement
- Presents a comprehensive review of the state of the art in cognitive science as well as a holistic interpretation of its contribution to a wide range of fields
comments
- Although it is a nice survey, it is difficult to credit the book as being a trend-setter in cognitive science. It is but a textbook survey.
- This work is not hugely competent, at least in its coverage of language.
