Not price clipped. * From the jacket flap, ""Howard Gardner changed the way we think about intelligence. In his classic work ""Frames of Mind,"" he undermined the common notion that intelligence is a single capacity that every human being possesses to a greater or lesser extent. Now building on the framework he developed for understanding intelligence, Gardner gives us a pathbreaking view of creativity, along with riveting portraits of seven figures who each reinvented an area of human endeavor. * Using as a point of departure his concept of seven ""intelligences,"" ranging from musical intelligence to the intelligence involved in understanding oneself, Gardner examines seven extraordinary individuals - Sigmund Freud, Albert Einstein, Pablo Picasso, Igor Stravinsky, T.S. Eliot, Martha Graham, and Mahatma Gandhi - each an outstanding exemplar of one kind of intelligence. Understanding the nature of their disparate creative breakthroughs not only sheds light on their achievements but also helps to elucidate the ""modern era"" - the times that formed these creators and which they in turn helped to define. . . .""
