Product Description

Gardner's seminal 1993 account of the practical applications of Multiple Intelligences theory is now completely updated and expanded to reflect the latest developments in the field. Howard Gardner's brilliant conception of individual competence has changed the face of education in the twenty-three years since the publication of his classic work, "Frames of Mind". Since then thousands of educators, parents and researchers have explored the practical implications and applications of Multiple Intelligences theory - the powerful notion that there are separate human capacities, ranging from musical intelligence to the intelligence involved in self-understanding. The first decade of research on MI theory and practice was reported in the 1993 edition of "Multiple Intelligences". This new edition covers all developments since then and stands as the most thorough and up-to-date account of MI available anywhere. Completely revised throughout, it features new material on global application and on MI in the workplace, an assessment of MI practice in the current conservative educational climate, new evidence about brain functioning and much more.

Interesting, but ...
Interesting, but lacks details as to criteria Howard used to identify criteria and doesn't tackle opposing views at all. All a bit vague, not much empirical evidence cited (although that's a criticism that could equally be levelled at the theory itself). A reasonable summary of the theory, but for in depth study you will need one of his earlier books too.
