Death at Clover High
Death at Clover High is an equally mind-blowing and educational fiction about a high school's baffling death and the student's brain-busting algebra class In this proficiently written self-contained book, Horwitz will take the readers to two different but solidly connected situations. A high school student at Clover High is found dead in the lavatory, with her head thrown back, mouth open, and eyes looking completely blank. The situation elicits questions and confusion, and leads few other students to investigate. While the mysterious death continues to infuse anxiety and puzzlement among the students, the Algebra class is also facing its own numerical battle. Each meeting presents increasingly complicated algebra problems from signed numbers and absolute values to equations and variables to linear equations, inequalities, and to quadratic equations that appraise each student's intelligence. How algebra relates in analyzing and solving the murder mystery is quite surprising.

Random Thoughts from an Aging Brain
This book recounts more than seven decades of the authors adventures (and misadventures), interspersed with reflections on the joys and tribulations of membership in the human race. Here are accounts of her travels by bicycle through Africa and the Middle East, and by PMV through the highlands of New Guinea, with asides on the glories of human diversity. The story of her lifelong pursuit of learning, from a one-room schoolhouse in rural France to the halls of MIT, is sprinkled with musings on the problems of learning and teaching. Further, the author pursues her passion for truth and justice from the streets (and jails) of Washington and Boston, to the wilds of Los Angeles.
The Trouble With Testosterone
Finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize From the man who Oliver Sacks hailed as “one of the best scientist/writers of our time,” a collection of sharply observed, uproariously funny essays on the biology of human culture and behavior.

U-Shaped Behavioral Growth
U-Shaped Behavioral Growth discusses a phenomenon called "U-shaped behavioral growth, in which some behaviors appear, disappear, and then reappear over time. This book covers structuralist approaches, production system models of information processing, rule systems approach, nativism, and a model of how maturation factors may influence U-shaped behavioral growth. A broad range of content domains that compare where there is and there is no overlap in the understanding of the developmental processes occurring in U-shaped behavioral growth is also included.

Artificial Minds
Stan Franklin is the perfect tour guide through the contemporary interdisciplinary matrix of artificial intelligence, cognitive science, cognitive neuroscience, artificial neural networks, artificial life, and robotics that is producing a new paradigm of mind. Along the way, Franklin makes the case for a perspective that rejects a rigid distinction between mind and non-mind in favor of a continuum from less to more mind.
