Default New Textbook on Cognitive Science

If anyone is interested in the topic have a new college textbook published titled 'Understanding Human Minds and Their Limits.' Peer reviewed by an Oxford University researcher and a U of Washington Medical School psychologist, it's an introductory textbook with the publisher's description being: "This book is an introduction to how minds work, including how they make judgments and perceptions, and processes sensory information. It looks at the physiological and psychological methods humans use to function and survive as a species, but that put limits on their knowledge and understanding of the universe, their immediate environment and themselves. Topics include information processing, cognitive biases, visual and audio illusions, perception and misperception of moving and still objects, art perception, limits of symbolic language, and social and evolutionary psychology." I think it's accessible to everyone, including of visual illusions that demonstrate the margins of error in human thinking.
