Beschreibung
With contributions from a multi-disciplinary group of expert contributors, this is the first handbook to discuss all aspects of genius, a topic that endlessly provokes and fascinates. * The first handbook to discuss all aspects of genius with contributions from a multi-disciplinary group of experts * Covers the origins, characteristics, careers, and consequences of genius with a focus on cognitive science, individual differences, life-span development, and social context * Explores individual genius, creators, leaders, and performers as diverse as Queen Elizabeth I, Simón Bolívar, Mohandas Gandhi, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Leo Tolstoy, John William Coltrane, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Martha Graham. * Utilizes a variety of approaches--from genetics, neuroscience, and longitudinal studies to psychometric tests, interviews, and case studies--to provide a comprehensive treatment of the subject
Rezensionen
"A short review cannot do justice to all of these diverse contributions, which reflect the full range of approaches on Gordon Allport's idiographic to nomothetic dimension, entail varying degrees of mathematical and statistical analysis, offer differing views on the nature-nurture question, and concern themselves with innumerable varieties of genius and its components. Few readers (apart from reviewers) are likely to devour this book from cover to cover, but it is safe to say that almost everyone will find something within it to capture their attention, to agree with or to question, and above all to ponder with interest."
