Reviews of Books

Mind, that is based on a new television series shown on BBC, but not yet in America. The book is a very well edited transcription of fifteen interviews with psychologists, anthropologists, and sociologists, including such n,otables as George Miller, Jerome Bruner, and Rom Harre. The contributors probably familiar to most AI researchers are Daniel Dennett and Jerome Fodor, as well as two contributors well-known for their writing on art and perception, Ernst Gombrich and Richard Gregory. The interviews are uniformly intelligent, original, and stimulating. As summaries of basic arguments about mental models, perception, and ethical questions of mental problems, you can't do better than this collection.
