Keith Oatley (4 Jan 1997, p 36). This “terrifically good book” is now in
paperback. Also in paperback this month is Steven Mithen’s The Prehistory of the

way of thinking” (25 October 1996, p 44). The Emotional Brain is published
by Touchstone Books, $14, ISBN 0684836599. The Prehistory of the Mind is
