A colleague of mine impresses me daily, but never more so than when I learned he writes
tdaxp, which features well-informed opinion on the Middle East along with book reviews like this:

Evolutionary Cognitivism, Introduction: Race of Man, Races of MenThis series is a companion to Biopsychological Development. What that series focused on my reaction to The Scientist in the Crib and The Emperor's New Clothes, this series centers on The Origins of Human Nature: Evolutionary Developmental Psychology. Of the three books assigned for the class, Origins is by far the most academic. It is a very competent synthesis of Cognitive Psychology's concepts of working memory, cognitive load, and the like with Evolutionary Psychology's era of evolutionary adaption, massive modularity, and such.
