"Gardner's memoir places his work on multiple intelligences within the arc of his academic career, and presents a defense of the scholarly and public value of powerful 'works of synthesis.'"-- Provided by publisher

Stupidity is all around is, from the coworkers who won't stop hitting 'reply all' to the former school friends posting conspiracy theories on Facebook. But in order to battle idiocy, we must first understand it. In The Psychology of Stupidity, some of the world's leading psychologists and thinkers - including Nobel Prize winners - will show you... why smart people sometimes believe in utter nonsense, how our lazy brains cause us to make the wrong decisions, why trying to debate fools is a trap, how media manipulation and Internet overstimulation makes us dumber, why the stupidest people don't think they're stupid. Their wisdom and wit are a balm for our aggrieved souls and a beacon of hope in a world of morons.

From the famed Harvard psychologist and an expert on the impact of digital media technologies, a riveting exploration of the power of apps to shape our young people--for better or for worse

Scopo di questo libro è dimostrare che il fenomeno "intelligenza" può essere scomposto in una serie finita di abilità umane distinte, di distinte intelligenze: linguistica, musicale, logico-matematica, spaziale, corpo-reo-cinestetica, personale e interpersonale. Caso per caso, Gardner esamina quali siano i componenti e lo sviluppo di ogni particolare forma di intelligenza, gli aspetti neurologici e quelli interculturali. Negando il concetto unitario di intelligenza, Gardner mira tra l'altro a mettere in discussione l'assunto che l'intelligenza possa essere misurata mediante test verbali e a proporre una tecnica capace di applicazioni in campo educativo. Questo libro, che per la sua originalità e vivacità di stile ha ricevuto riconoscimenti in tutto il mondo, ha segnato una svolta negli studi sull'intelligenza, ed è oggi considerato una pietra miliare negli studi sull'apprendimento

Nonostante sia ormai universalmente riconosciuto che la qualità del sistema educativo di un paese è un fattore determinante per la sua crescita e il suo sviluppo, troppo spesso il dibattito pedagogico si esaurisce in sterili contrapposizioni fra progressisti e tradizionalisti o resta confinato ad aspetti secondari e particolaristici. "Sapere per comprendere" non si sottrae invece alla cruciale questione di definire metodi e contenuti di un'"educazione per tutti", il cui fine deve essere la formazione di individui capaci di comprendere, affrontare e migliorare il mondo in cui vivono. Ciò è possibile soltanto attraverso lo studio e la conoscenza della condizione umana, passata e presente, e soprattutto attraverso una profonda comprensione delle sfere del vero (e del falso), del bello (e del brutto), del bene (e del male). Gardner passa quindi in rassegna diverse istituzioni scolastiche contemporanee, dalle scuole materne di Reggio Emilia alle università statunitensi, analizzandone limiti e vantaggi, articolando sei percorsi educativi in grado di rispondere alle esigenze di differenti sistemi culturali.

We live in a time of vast changes. And those changes call for entirely new ways of learning and thinking. In Five Minds for the Future: Howard Gardner defines the cognitive abilities that will command a premium in the years ahead: the disciplinary mind—mastery of major schools of thought (including science, mathematics, and history) and of at least one professional craft the synthesizing mind—ability to integrate ideas from different disciplines or spheres into a coherent whole and to communicate that integration to others the creating mind—capacity to uncover and clarify new problems, questions, and phenomena the respectful mind—awareness of and appreciation for differences among human beings and human groups the ethical mind—fulfillment of one’s responsibilities as a worker and citizen World-renowned for his theory of multiple intelligences, Gardner takes that thinking to the next level in this book, drawing from a wealth of diverse examples to illuminate his ideas. Concise and engaging, Five Minds for the Future will inspire lifelong learning in any reader as well as provide valuable insights for those charged with training and developing organizational leaders—both today and tomorrow.

The most complete account of the theory and application of Multiple Intelligences available anywhere Howard Gardner's brilliant conception of individual competence, known as Multiple Intelligences theory, has changed the face of education. Tens of thousands of educators, parents, and researchers have explored the practical implications and applications of this powerful notion, that there is not one type of intelligence but several, ranging from musical intelligence to the intelligence involved in self-understanding. Multiple Intelligences distills nearly three decades of research on Multiple Intelligences theory and practice, covering its central arguments and numerous developments since its introduction in 1983. Gardner includes discussions of global applications, Multiple Intelligences in the workplace, an assessment of Multiple Intelligences practice in the current conservative educational climate, new evidence about brain functioning, and much more.

Think about the last time you tried to change someone’s mind about something important: a voter’s political beliefs; a customer’s favorite brand; a spouse’s decorating taste. Chances are you weren’t successful in shifting that person’s beliefs in any way. In his book, Changing Minds, Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner explains what happens during the course of changing a mind – and offers ways to influence that process.Remember that we don’t change our minds overnight, it happens in gradual stages that can be powerfully influenced along the way. This book provides insights that can broaden our horizons and shape our lives.
