Additional Prescribed Text - Evolutionary Psychology

After many years of searching for a text to use in the Evolutionary Psychology part of the course, Mike and I have finally found one:

Source: Amazon.com

I have sent out an email with the details and various buying options. If you did not receive that email, please check the email address you submitted with your Honours application last year.

Otherwise, send me an email (michael.pitman@wits.ac.za) from your preferred email address for the year, and I'll both forward you the book and buying details, and add your address to the distribution list.

I specifically don't have an address for:

Chiba	Urvashi
Kruger	Charmaine
Padi	Tidimalo Dorah

This book will be used for Seminar 2-4 (as well as later in the course), so needs to be ordered soon.

There are copies in the Library - Michael P currently has one, and the other one is being placed on Overnight Loan.

Prescribed Books for Mind, Brain and Behaviour 2011

The prescribed books for Mind, Brain and Behaviour in 2011 are as follows:

Damasio, Antonio (1994). Descartes’ Error. London: Vintage or New York: Penguin*

Deacon, Terence (1997). The Symbolic Species. New York: Norton

Searle, John (1997). The Mystery of Consciousness. New York: New York Review of Books.

(*Available in electronic formats, such as Kindle Editions, ePub and PDF)

It is probably easiest and cheapest to order the books online now (i.e. January/ early February) so that they arrive in time for use a little later in the course. The first book we need is the Damasio text - we'll need to read chapters in preparation for seminar 5 on 22 March. So that leaves plenty of time if you order the books now.

My personal recommendation for purchasing the books is www.take2.co.za. Delivery is by courier to your door at a flat rate of R35. As of Tuesday 18 January, all three books together plus delivery will come to about R380. Follow the links below to see the prices and availability of each text on Take2:
