Media Reviews

What exactly is this seemingly natural tendency to sort others into kinds ? This question forms the core of Us and Them, which explores the conscious and unconscious ways in which people classify one another and more important why. --Richard Lipkin Scientific American Mind
At over 300 pages of densely packed, scholarly-yet-accessible text Us & Them takes focused attention. Bereby takes his time and makes his case. If you read Malcolm Gladwell's breezy bestseller, Blink, and wanted a meatier discussion of the same points, Us & Them will satisfy. --Jodi Forschmeidt Metapsychology
