Development and Education of the Mind

'Every so often you encounter a book that excites you so much you can't stop talking about it. You urge others to read it and are tempted to buy multiple copies to make sure they do. Howard Gardner's selection of his own works is one of those books. ... It's in the classroom that Gardner's theories have most appeal for they confirm what teachers know from their everyday experience: that students think and learn in many different ways. ... I cannot recommend it strongly enough.' - Tim Brighouse, Times Educational Supplement, Book of the Week
