Review
"This book surveys the history and measurement of
intelligence through seven metaphors commonly used in the field:
geographical (maps), computational, biological, epistemological,
sociological, anthropological and systems. This treatment is extended
through the chapters of the book dealing with measurement and
discussions of the genetic and environmental bases of intelligence as
well as group (sex and race) differences." The Scientific and Medical Network
"This
book is, therefore, strongly recommended to all serious undergraduate
or postgraduate students of intelligence or to anyone interested in the
historical development of psychological constructs." Social Psychological Review, October 2005
