"Because of [Frames of Mind] Gardner is both lionized and exploited
as one of the most famous educational theorists in the world. His
notion of multiple intelligences-including the idea that musical,
athletic, and other talents are separate from, but as important as,
high SAT scores-has inspired scores of books, journal articles,
conferences, and lesson plans for public schools."
--The Washington Post
"Mention Howard Gardner's name to a growing cadre of educators and
the response verges on the reverence teenagers lavish on a rock
star. The cult of Gardner began....with his book Frames of
Mind."--Newsweek
"The value of Frames of Mind is less in the answers it proposes
than in the problems it poses. They are important problems, and
time spent thinking about them will be time well spent."--The New
York Times
"Timely, wide-reaching and in many ways brilliant....[Gardner's]
effort to bring together the data of neurology, exceptionality
development, and symbolic-cultural skills is not only heroic but it
makes extremely evocative reading."--The New York Review of Books
