...away those dress-for-success books. Forget the management mystique. The key to thriving in the corporate jungle is understanding dinosaurs. So say Albert Bernstein, a clinical psychologist in Portland, Ore., and Sydney Craft Rozen, a former English instructor at Clark College in Vancouver, Wash. In Dinosaur Brains (John Wiley; $18.95) they examine the prehistoric reptile that lurks inside every employee like an evolutionary time bomb.

When the driver switches it on before leaving his prize in an attendant's hands, half the engine's valves shut down. That turns one mean machine into a pussycat...
