Is human cognitive processing literally constituted (at least partly) by non-neural portions of the environment? The contemporary debate about extended cognition and the extended mind focuses on these questions, among others. Frederick Adams and Kenneth Aizawa's new book, The Bounds of Cognition (BC), contributes wonderfully to this debate. The book is critical of the extended approach; but Adams and Aizawa (A\u0026amp;A) also work toward a positive view, one that allows, in principle, for extended cognition, while yielding very little of it when fed the empirical facts.\"(\u003ci\u003ePhilosophical Psychology,\u003c\/i\u003e November 2010)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  “\u003ci\u003eThe Bounds of Cognition\u003c\/i\u003e is the most thorough-going, forceful, and compelling critique of EMH so far.” ( \u003ci\u003eErkenntnis\u003c\/i\u003e, September 2009)  \u003cp\u003e\"[This book] is without question a worthy and timely challenge to extended cognition, as well as to areas in related enterprises such as embodied cognition, situated cognition, dynamical systems theory and artificial life....
