Books by Howard Gardner

Think about the last time you tried to change someones mind about something important: a voters political beliefs; a customers favorite brand; a spouses decorating taste. Chances are you werent successful in shifting that persons beliefs in any way. In his book, Changing Minds, Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner explains what happens during the course of changing a mind and offers ways to influence that process.Remember that we dont change our minds overnight, it happens in gradual stages that can be powerfully influenced along the way. This book provides insights that can broaden our horizons and shape our lives.

Merging cognitive science with educational agenda, Gardner makes an eloquent case for restructuring our schools by showing just how ill-suited our minds and natural patterns of learning are to the prevailing modes of education. This reissue includes a new introduction by the author.

A revised edition of Gardner's classic on the development of creativity. Illustrated throughout with children's art, this book is a systematic examination of the relation between youthful participation in the arts and the ultimate craftsmanship attained by gifted artists.

A brilliant state-of-the-art report on how the landmark theory of multiple intelligences is radically changing our understanding of education and human development.

In this unique attempt to address the dilemma in contemporary education, the noted cognitive scientist weaves the lessons garnered from three vantage points: his own traditional education as an American child, his years of research on creativity at Harvard, and what he saw in modern Chinese classrooms,into a program that draws on the best of both modes, traditional and progressive.

The first full-scale history of cognitive science, this work addresses a central issue: What is the nature of knowledge?
