"For those of us who suspect that intelligence is too complex a
phenomenon to be measured by the single number of Q.Q. derived from
an 'intelligence test, ' Gardner's book is a refreshing experience
and an open door into a whole new way of looking at human
beings."--Isaac Asimov
"Were we to apply even a fraction of the knowledge Gardner marshals
for us, education might finally lead to the deeper understanding
that should be its primary goal."--Rexford Brown
"Whenever Howard Gardner focuses his synthesizing mind and vast
erudition on any topic, we can be sure that an exciting
intellectual adventure is in store. If his manifesto were heeded,
the future of our children would benefit immensely."--Mihaly
