Intelligence and How to Get It - Why Schools and Cultures Count[Team Nanban][TPB]

AUTHOR:Richard E. Nisbett

YEAR: 2009

FORMAT: djvu

DESCRIPTION:

A bold refutation of the belief that genes determine intelligence.

Who are smarter, Asians or Westerners? Are there genetic explanations for
racial differences in test scores? What makes some nationalities excel in engineering and
others in music? Will math and science remain a largely male preserve.
From the damning research of The Bell Curve to the more recent controversy surrounding
geneticist James Watson's statements, one factor has been consistently left out of
the equation: culture. In the tradition of The Mismeasure of Man by Stephen Jay Gould,
world-class social psychologist Richard E. Nisbett takes on the idea of intelligence
as something that is biologically determined and
impervious to culture--with vast implications for the role of education as
it relates to social and economic development.

Intelligence and How to Get It asserts that intellect is not primarily genetic
but is principally determined by societal influences. Nisbett's commanding argument,
superb marshaling of evidence, and fearless discussions of the controversial carve
out new and exciting terrain in this hotly debated field.
