A must for both students and experienced researchers.’ Nick Ellis, University of Michigan 2012 228 x 152 mm 384pp 39 b/w illus. 13 tables 978-1-107-00890-8 Hardback £65.00 eBook available www.cambridge.org/9781107008908 Structural Information Theory The Simplicity of Visual Form Emanuel Leeuwenberg Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen and Peter A. van der Helm Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium This highly accessible and richly illustrated book on visual pattern classification is unique in that it presents not only many visual phenomena but also a coherent and comprehensive theory with quantitative models, verifiable predictions and extensive empirical evidence. It will appeal to both academic specialists and other students of perception. ‘Whether you are familiar with Structural Information Theory or not, you will enjoy this systematic presentation by Emanuel Leeuwenberg, its original proponent, and Peter van der Helm, its main formal developer. Through twelve chapters, including a coding manual, they distil order out of perception and cognition, like the demons invoked in the introduction. SIT provides a powerful language for evaluating how strongly the mind strives for simplicity; the book provides an optimal context for evaluating the strength of SIT.’ Walter Gerbino, University of Trieste 2012 228 x 152 mm 333pp 137 b/w illus. 4 colour illus. 2 tables 978-1-107-02960-6 Hardback £70.00 eBook available www.cambridge.org/9781107029606 Thinking through the Body Essays in Somaesthetics Richard Shusterman Florida Atlantic University This book provides a richly rewarding vision of the burgeoning interdisciplinary field of somaesthetics. Composed of fourteen wide-ranging but finely integrated essays by Richard Shusterman, the originator of the field, Thinking through the Body explains the philosophical foundations of somaesthetics and applies its insights to central issues in ethics, education, cultural politics, consciousness studies, sexuality and the arts. ‘Richard Shusterman’s collection takes the first philosophical step in the new millennium, going beyond the action theory that emerged in the 1970s and building a historical pyramid from Socrates to his own conception of somaesthetics: a scholarly monument ranging from muscle memory to vital topics in aesthetics, including ars erotica.’ Arthur C.

Cognition / Social psychology 3 Quantum Models of Cognition and Decision Jerome R. Busemeyer Indiana University, Bloomington and Peter D. Bruza Queensland University of Technology Much of our understanding of human thinking is based on probabilistic models. By using principles drawn from quantum theory to provide the foundations for modeling probabilisticdynamic systems, the authors open a new frontier for modeling cognitive phenomena and human decision making. ‘Mathematical models of cognition so often seem like mere formal exercises. Quantum theory is a rare exception. Without sacrificing formal rigor, it captures deep insights about the workings of the mind with elegant simplicity. This book promises to revolutionize the way we think about thinking.’ Steven Sloman, Brown University 2012 228 x 152 mm 424pp 54 b/w illus. 20 tables 978-1-107-01199-1 Hardback £65.00 eBook available www.cambridge.org/9781107011991 Textbook Cognitive Science An Introduction to the Science of the Mind José Luis Bermúdez Texas A & M University Cognitive science is at last treated as a unified subject in this exciting textbook on the science of the mind. ‘The text is engaging, well-crafted for an undergraduate audience, and is sure to inspire a generation of students.’ Michael Spivey, University of California, Merced Contents: Preface; Part I.
