'Insight' is not a very popular word in psychology or biology. Popular terms-like "intelligence," "planning," "complexity" or "cognitive"- have a habit of sprawling out to include everyone's favourite interpretation, and end up with such vague meanings that each new writer has to redefine them for use.

Insight is a good thing to have, so it's important to find out how it evolved, and that's what this book is about. Coming 30 years after publication of Richard Byrne's...

Finlay (a little dinosaur) is counting out jelly beans to share with his friend. He is sitting on a grassy mound. A big dinosaur comes along and demands the jelly beans. He is rather rude, a bit of a show-off, and he thinks that Finlay's friend is a figment of his imagination. What follows is a lot of posturing from the big dinosaur as he attempts to prove his worth with various antics on and around the grassy mound.
