New Releases by HOWARD GARDNER

The groundbreaking work of Harvard University psychologist Howard Gardner on multiple intelligences and Tufts University psychologist David Henry Feldman on nonuniversal development is fast becoming the standard by which children''s intelligence and cognitive development is understood. In this landmark three-volume set, Mara Krechevsky and her colleagues at Project Zero make these insights available for both teachers and scholars alike.

Aunque ya se ha escrito mucho sobre el tema del liderazgo, en buena parte se ha ignorado uno de sus componentes decisivos: el fuerte vinculo existente entre los creadores tradicionales, artistas y cientificos, y los lideres del mundo de los negocios, la politica y el ejercito. Segun Howard Gardner, todos ellos basan su exito en la creacion y materializacion de relatos e historias eficaces, es decir, en el hecho de crear mitos a partir de su propia personalidad para conquistar con ello la imaginacion del resto de las personas. Pues bien, mediante impresionantes retratos de una amplia gama de lideres de J. Robert Oppenheimer a Margaret Thatcher, de Margaret Mead al papa Juan XXIII, de Eleanor Roosevelt a Martin Luther King, Gardner recrea en este volumen todos esos relatos posibles, explica a partir de ellos las caracteristicas principales del liderazgo y describe las paradojas que han de resolverse para que este resulte verdaderamente eficaz. Lo que en principio parece unicamente un mosaico de semblanzas, pues, se convierte tambien en un texto de naturaleza casi practica, pues explica y caracteriza el irresistible atractivo de los relatos mas simplistas, aquellos que B+lavanB; el cerebro de los ciudadanos a traves de mensajes a veces peligrosos en su poder de fascinacion, y enumera los pasos necesarios para contrarrestar dicha influencia. Si el libro mas reciente de Gardner, Mentes creativas, abordaba la creatividad tomando como base precisamente las figuras de los creadores, Mentes lideres hace lo propio con el liderazgo y los lideres, aunque ahora el terreno de juego sea mucho mas complejo e inquietante. Howard Gardner es catedratico y codirector del Proyecto Cero en la Facultad dePedagogia de Harvard, asi como profesor adjunto de Neurologia en la Facultad de Medicina d

What makes the kind of extraordinary person who changes the way we think, listen, write or view the world? And is it something science can & should measure? In this thought-provoking book Howard Gardner shows how the achievements of extraordinary creators & leaders depend less on native talents than on their abilities to exploit their own strengths & to convert setbacks into future success. Turning to our own lives, Gardner shows how such abilities can be marshaled by all of us in maximizing our own accomplishments. Includes chapters on Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Sigmund Freud, Virginia Woolf & Mahatma Gandhi. A short but wide-ranging study of the psychology of exceptional achievement.Ó Humane, intelligent & full of interest.Ó

No psychological topic is of greater interest to the general public, and to the discipline of psychology as a whole, than intelligence. Laypeople argue at length about who is intelligent, how to become smarter, and what difference IQ makes. Psychologists and other scholars debate the definition of intelligence, the best ways to measure it, and the relation between intelligence and other social virtues, like creativity, or social vices, like criminal behavior. Much controversy has surrounded the study of intelligence, but few would dispute Richard Herrnstein''s claim that the study of intelligence has been one of the greatest successes of 20th century psychology.

"Drawing on traditional and progressive education, the award-winning cognitive psychologist formulates the optimal approach to creativity."--Cover

A revolutionary challenge to the widely held notion that intelligence is a single general capacity possessed by every individual to a greater or lesser extent.

Prima ediție a Inteligențelor multiple. Noi perspective a fost publicată în 1993, la zece ani după Perspective ale minții, cartea care a făcut revoluție în sistemul de educație din întreaga lume. Aici, Howard Gardner analizează inteligențele multiple folosindu-se de exemple notabile, precum Helen Keller, T.S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf, Babe Ruth sau Yehudi Menuhin, și urmărește cum a fost primită teoria sa în sistemele educaționale care au adoptat-o și au transformat-o în curriculă de bază.

O educador Howard Gardner busca redefinir os conceitos de verdadeiro, belo e bom na modernidade. Como saber o que é verdadeiro na era da internet, com sua profusão de informações? Como identificar o belo quando a arte choca mais do que deleita? Como distinguir o bom do mau quando a moral é politizada e relativizada? Neste livro Gardner tenta rastrear as transformações das concepções de tais virtudes e descrever os desafios para dar sentido a elas no dia a dia e na educação das crianças.
