Cognition in the Wild is Professor Hutchins' own attempt to show how cognitive scientists can think about cognition in systems that transcend the traditional boundaries of the individual. In this book Professor Hutchins examines the ways that the cognitive functions involved in ship navigation are distributed between people and cultural artifacts, among people in a team, and across time.

Andy Clark'snew book, Supersizing the Mind, explores the philosophical landscape of distributed, embodied, embedded, situated and extended cognition. He makes the case in favor of the extended conception of mind, considers objections, and examines limitations. In order to understand where cognitive science is today, and where it is going in the future, it is essential to understand the arguments presented in this book.
