Tucker Max runs what has to be one of the top five funniest sites on the net. His tales of debauchery are legendary — he has a book and an MTV spot devoted to them. But it was nice to see some of his recommended books:
The Moral Animal, Robert Wright: A great intro to evolutionary psychology for the non-scientist. The beginning is boring, but after Chapter One it gets really good.
The Adapted Mind, Cosmides and To[o]by: The defining book on evolutionary psychology. This is where it all began, but it takes some background before you can really digest their writing.
Why we get sick, Neese and Williams. The best book you will ever read on medicine.
Most of Stephen Pinker, Mark Ridley, and Richard Dawkin’s work, especially The Red Queen, The Selfish Gene, and The Language Instinct
Hopefully his audience will get turned onto good science.
