{"product_id":"the-essential-howard-gardner-on-howard-gardner-9780807769379","title":"The Essential Howard Gardner on Mind","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor over half a century, Howard Gardner has studied the mind in its various shapes, forms, and operations, culminating in his best-known work, the theory of multiple intelligences. This volume compiles his most compelling essays on the conduct, contours, and complexity of the human mind. After introducing the thinkers who had the greatest influence on him, Gardner traces the multiple aspects of mind that he has illuminated: the development of cognition, notably in the arts; the breakdown of cognition under condition of brain damage; a probing examination of human cognition at its highest levels, including creativity, leadership, artistry, and \"good work\" (work that is excellent, engaging, and ethical) in the professions; and, most recently, our extraordinary synthesizing capacities as human beings. This fascinating book captures in one place the long and compelling arc of a major scholar's contribution to understanding intelligence, thinking, and the development of the range of cognitive strengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBook Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents Howard Gardner's essential essays on mind over the course of his long and distinguished career.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTraces the influences on Gardner's own thinking, among them psychologists Jean Piaget and Jerome Bruner, philosophers Susanne Langer and Nelson Goodman, neurologist Norman Geschwind, and anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eShows how an understanding of human cognitive capacities and processes manifests itself in several domains, such as artistry, leadership, creativity, and excellence in the professions.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Howard Gardner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807769371\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807769379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Teachers College Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/27\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Howard Gardner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46094290714879,"sku":"9780807769379","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dfc41fcb-3a11-4723-a9d2-8397f04e9990.jpg?v=1724844240","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-essential-howard-gardner-on-howard-gardner-9780807769379","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
