New Book from David Braine

I missed the recent publication of David Braine's "The Roots of Creativity in Speech and Thought" from CUA Press.  I have been waiting for it.  His "The Human Person: Animal & Spirit" seems to me one of the best contemporary books on Philosophy of MInd.  In this earlier book on the human person, he uses the peculiar features of human language to argue that linguistic understanding and thinking have no bodily organ, and uses this material in his argument for the further positions that human persons transcend the body.  I wish that more people would read his work.
