I'm currently working through "How the Mind Works" by Steve Pinker. I have
only read a couple of chapters so far, but from this alone I would highly
recommend it. He writes beautifully, and his exposition of what a
computational view of mind implies as well as his explanation and defense
of evolutionary psychology are both excellent.

best, patrick
