Handbook of Intelligence

Spurred by the new developments in a rapidly expanding field, Robert Sternberg has brought together a stellar list of contributors to provide a comprehensive, broad and deeply thematic review of intelligence that will be accessible to both scholar and student. The field of intelligence is lively on many fronts, and this volume provides full coverage on topics such as behavior-genetic models, evolutionary models, cognitive models, emotional intelligence, practical intelligence, and group difference. The 28 chapters in the handbook are divided into 9 parts: I. the nature of intelligence and its measurement; II. Development of intelligence; III. Group analyses of intelligence; IV. Biology of intelligence; V. Intelligence and information processing; VI. Kinds of Intelligence; VII. Testing and teaching intelligence; VIII. Intelligence, society, and culture; and IX. Intelligence in relation to allied constructs. The Handbook will serve as an authoritative resource on all aspects of theory, research, and measurement in the field of intelligence. Robert J.
