SciTech Book News

As a resource for librarians and other buyers of high-level books, SciTech Book News, published quarterly, cites about 2000 new books from several hundred publishers in each issue, offering concise reviews and annotations and thorough bibliographic information. The bibliography itself is arranged by subject, but this page and the other publisher pages present the material arranged by publisher.

Entries include title, author, series (in parentheses), publisher, copyright date, number of pages, price (at the time of listing), Library of Congress subject classification code, and ISBN. For scholarly and reference books, we note if they lack a subject index or a bibliography. Size is mentioned when the book exceeds 8.5x11 inches.

Titles appearing in SciTech Book News — March 2008

Arrangement is by title.

Best of the brain from Scientific American.

Ed. by Floyd E. Bloom.

978-1-932594-22-5

Bloom (emeritus, neuropharmacology, Scripps Research Institute, California) introduces 21 brain-related articles drawn from Scientific American and Scientific American Mind issues from 1999 to 2006. They reflect then state-of-the-art perspectives by leading authorities in the field on the mind (e.g., creativity, the brain-mind relationship); matter (the senses, psychological disorders); and "tomorrow's brain" (new treatments, brain-machine merging). Articles include quality illustrations and further reading. (Annotation ©2008 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)

The neuroscience of fair play; why we (usually) follow the Golden rule.

Pfaff, Donald W.

978-1-932594-27-0

Pfaff (neurobiology and behavior, Rockefeller U.) entertains the possibility that some rules of behavior are universally embedded in the human brain, and that most people are wired for good behavior. He insists that he is following a long tradition in philosophy of explaining why people act well or poorly without recourse to supernatural phenomena. (Annotation ©2008 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
