'til 1983, I Wrote Primarily For Other Psychologists And Expected That They Would Be The Principal Audience For My Book.

Fundamentalism Is A Kind Of Decision Not To Change Your Mind About Something...many Of Us Are Fundamentalists...because It Worked Pretty Well For Us.

When Speaking To Parents, I Encourage Them To Take Their Child(ren) To A Children's Museum And Watch Carefully What The Child Does, How She/she Does It, What He/she Returns To, Where There Is Definite Growth. Teachers Could Do The Same Or Could Set Up 'play Areas' Which Provide 'nutrition' For Different Intelligences... And Watch Carefully What Happens And What Does Not Happen With Each Child.

I Reject The Notion That Human Beings Have A Single Intelligence, Which Can Be Drawn On For The Full Range Of Problem Solving.

My Belief In Why America Has Been Doing So Well Up To Now Is That We Have Been Propelled By Our Immigrants And Our Encouragement Of Technical Innovation And, Indeed, Creativity Across The Board.
