"We leap to categorize people. . . . Berreby uses mind and brain
science to investigate why the human tendency to typecast is so
powerful--and apparently so automatic."-- "Psychology Today"
"At over 300 pages of densely packed, scholarly-yet-accessible text
Us & Them takes focused attention. Bereby takes his time and makes
his case. If you read Malcolm Gladwell's breezy bestseller, Blink,
and wanted a meatier discussion of the same points, Us & Them will
satisfy."--Jodi Forschmeidt "Metapsychology"
"What exactly is this seemingly natural tendency to sort others
into 'kinds'? This question forms the core of Us and Them, which
explores the conscious and unconscious ways in which people
classify one another--and more important--why."--Richard Lipkin
"Scientific American Mind "
