The unthinkable has happened to the city of San Diego, California: a huge earthquake has sank much of the city beneath the ocean. Arthur Curry, the Atlantean hero known to surface-dwellers as Aquaman, comes to search for survivors, but there are none to be found. It’s a tragedy beyond comprehension. But suddenly, survivors begin emerging from the sunken city...and drowning on dry land!

In How the Body Shapes the Way We Think, Rolf Pfeifer and Josh Bongard demonstrate that thought is not independent of the body but is tightly constrained, and at the same time enabled, by it.
