Review: The Mind's New Science: A History Of The Cognitive Revolution

User Review  - Daniel Maturana - Goodreads

An nice overview, but rather dated, specially in the chapters regarding AI and neuroscience. The reviews of the more 'fringe' disciplines of anthropology and linguistics are interesting.

User Review  - Mark Sabol - Goodreads

Very dry. You have to be pretty interested in cognitive science and its historical antecedents; nevertheless, thorough and engaging in that context.
