Reviews
This is a timely book. In an age of specialization--a tendency that bewilders most citizens, and in the long run threatens intellectual activity in our civilization--Slobodkin is able to write about the connections between science, art, games, and dining in an important and entertaining way. I think it will be a classic.

Synopsis
If it were necessary, for some curious legal reason, to draw a clear line between human and nonhuman - for example, if a group of australopithecines were to appear and one had to decide if they were to be protected by Fair Employment Laws or by the ASPCA - I would welcome them as humans if I knew that they were seriously concerned about how to bury their dead. In this way Slobodkin takes us on a spirited quest for the multiple meanings of simplicity in all facets of life.

- l***u (12)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseOverall buying from here was a fantastic experience! The book arrived at my door in two days, during a flash flood advisory. It was packaged in a grey plastic mailer, secured with extra tape so that the item stayed nice and dry. The book itself is exactly as stated: a fresh new copy. No witting or highlighting, no library stickers. Just a clean, intact copy. This was much cheaper than if had I bought from a major bookstore, so all in all I’m very pleased with my purchase here! Would recommend.
