Introductory book to cognitive sciencies

Hi,

Please, could someone suggest me an introductory book to "cognitive
sciences"?. I'm thinking in a main book, like Brakto is to prolog.
Moreover, if this is not the related news group, there are a news
group for this area?
Thanks a lot for your colaboration.
Kind regards.

One of the books that we read and provided an interdisciplinary
approcach was by Paul Thagard:
