Summary:

This book brings together psychological, sociological, and anthropological approaches to core topics in cognition. Leaders in the field present different perspectives on classification, reasoning, socialization, the development of infant cognition and scientific thought, and many other topics. It demonstrates that cognition is a social activity, and that in order to understand the thought processes of members of society, we must first understand society.
