Rezension zu „Origins of the Modern Mind “
Origins of the Modern Mind is an admirable book...Its author displays throughout an engaging enthusiasm, a fertile imagination and an impressive knowledge of his subject-matter. -- Christopher Longuet-Higgins Times Literary Supplement A fine, provocative and absorbing account of what makes humans human. Kirkus Reviews Nowadays one hears...that hand-held calculators destroy young people's motivation to learn arithmetic. But not to worry, says Merlin Donald, author of this revelatory but demanding history of human consciousness. He welcomes the computer, as well as other forms of electronic storage and manipulation of data and images, including TV, as the highest stage of mental development--and perhaps the final one. -- John Wilkes Los Angeles Times
