The must-read book on the subject of intelligence!,
This review is from: Intelligence: Multiple Perspectives (Paperback)
Gardner, Kornhaber, and Wake have written the essential book on the subject of intelligence. This book helps to undo some of the damage of books like Herrnstein & Murray's "The Bell Curve." This well-written text presents the many faces of intelligence, across different cultures and different settings such as work and school. It includes psychometrics, artificial intelligence, the role of the brain, and Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, providing a robust introduction to one of the most important topics in psychology and education. This book should be required reading for every educator, and every student of psychology, education, and science.

Intelligence, the big picture,
By "cristalla" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Intelligence: Multiple Perspectives (Paperback)
In one volume, this work combines the theories on intelligence advanced during the past century, but especially during the last decades. Beginning with the pioneering work of Piaget, the authors continue with the latter's disciples, whether supportive or in disagreement; a discussion of the brain and attempts to copy its functioning with intelligent machines. Of special interest are discussions of recent theories of intelligence by Gardner (seven intelligences and the experiments how he arrived at them); Mike Anderson, who asserts that intelligence evolves through changes in the organization of knowledge and skills, indicating that Gardner's multiple intelligences are 'sometimes a behavior, sometimes a cognitive process, and sometimes a structure in the brain'; Robert Sternberg, whose theory is a combination of three 'triarchic' subtheories: the componential, the experiential, and the contextual; and, based on Sternberg, Stephen Ceci's but, while the first has stressed the componential aspect ('what goes on inside a person's head when he thinks intelligently?') Ceci emphasizes the contextual aspect ('How does a person 's interaction interaction in the world affect the world in which he lives?'). The final chapters of the book are devoted to how all this new knowledge will affect schools and learning in the workplace. Each chapter has its own list of 'suggested readings' while the final list of references is comprehensive and inviting for further 'in-depth' studies

An excellent book.,
By Barry Devon (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Intelligence: Multiple Perspectives (Paperback)
This is a great book for anyone interested in the subject of intelligence. It's well-written, and does justice to this complex and deep subject matter. Unlike books like "The Bell Curve" this book doesn't try to prescribe a narrow definition of intelligence. Rather it exposes the richness of different conceptualizations of intelligence, and the ways in which intelligence is important in various settings.
