This review is from: All About Intelligence: Human, Animal and Artificial (Paperback)

Dr. Howard has written an excellent overview of the concept of intelligence. He covers human intelligence, including recent definitions, testing, and education. His chapter on testing I found most interesting since he discusses the most popular tests and their limitations. There is an excellent section on gifted children. The sections on animal and artificial intelligence is fairly sweeping, but he does present the main ideas very clearly. I found this book very easy to read and enjoyable.
