Williams set out to create a book that readers would study carefully rather than flip through and then discard. In the 1970s, Williams was challenged by Tom Maschler, of the British publishing firm Jonathan Cape, to do "something no one has ever done before" with a picture book. Two British physics teachers were later acknowledged to be the first to have correctly solved the puzzle. It was later found that Thompson had not solved the puzzle and had guessed the hare's location using insider knowledge obtained from a former acquaintance of Williams. In March 1982 Williams received a letter and sketch from a man called Dugald Thompson, which he acknowledged as the first correct solution to the puzzle, meaning that Thompson had won the contest. The book became the inspiration for a genre of books known today as armchair treasure hunts. ![]() ![]() Masquerade is a picture book, written and illustrated by Kit Williams and published in August 1979, that sparked a treasure hunt by including concealed clues to the location of a jewelled golden hare that had been created and hidden somewhere in Britain by Williams. Masquerade: The Complete Book with the Answer Explained ![]() ![]() ![]() In his book, Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress, Pinker writes about progress - why people are healthier, richer, safer, happier and better educated than ever. He has written books on the language instinct, how the mind works, the stuff of thought and the doctrine of the blank slate, together with a guide to stylish writing that is rooted in psychology. He has documented historical declines in violence and explained them in terms of the ways that the violent and peaceable components of human nature interact in different eras. He has used evolution to illuminate innuendo, emotional expression and social coordination. ![]() ![]() Pinker developed the first comprehensive theory of language acquisition in children, used verb meaning as a window into cognition, probed the limits of neural networks and showed how the interaction between memory and computation shapes language. He is interested in all aspects of human nature: how we see, hear, think, speak, remember, feel and interact. Steven Pinker grew up in the English-speaking community of Montreal but has spent his adult life bouncing back and forth between Harvard and MIT. ![]() |
