This text evolved from a November 2001 conference held at Sydney U., Australia, and commemorates the contributions of Charles Spearman, a pioneer in the study of human individual differences and the statistical technique of factor analysis. The text brings together diverse perspectives on the enhancement of human cognitive abilities and challenges the premise that intelligence is destiny. Nineteen contributions are organized into sections on general background to the topic, enhancement via instruction, enhancement via development, enhancement over time, enhancement via new constructs, new directions in enhancement, and conclusions and future directions. A sampling of topics: the difference between improving intelligence and education, enhancing development in intellectually talented populations, the history of the American mind in the 20th century, emotional intelligence and what it predicts, and nutrition and intellectual development. Lawrence Erlbaum is an imprint of Taylor & Francis. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
