ON DECK
Warming up in my reading “bullpen” to be read as soon as I finish the Evans book:
Global Brain by Howard Bloom ( read a review by Dan of tdaxp )
Intelligence Reframed: Multiple Intelligences for the 21st Century by Howard Gardner
Hmmm..looks like this is my ” Howard” edition post. Nothing by Howard Stern or Howard Rhinegold today…but I’m sure they’ll have something out soon.

I’m looking forward to your description of Gardner’s book. I’ve been wondering if his multiple-intelligences are merely a list of common coherent groupings of domains people specialize.
His work is a good attack on domain-general intelligence, but with the Evolutionary Psychologists talking about hundreds of thousands of “modules” (even tasked to a specific domain), I wonder if he believes his list of 10 or so is too limited.

LOL !
“but with the Evolutionary Psychologists talking about hundreds of thousands of “modules” (even tasked to a specific domain), I wonder if he believes his list of 10 or so is too limited.”
Good question. Maybe when i finish, I’ll make the effort to get in contact and ask Gardner directly.
