Expands intelligence research to a new level. Excellent!
In Three Faces of Mind Elaine De Beauport has beautifully combined research, years of observation and her own experiences to expand current theories on intelligence. She has taken the three parts of the physical brain and attributed to them 10 separate types of intelligence. Each type has its own chapter combining exercises and insight. Excellent!!!!

Pseudo-science
When a religion book tries to be a science book, the result is torturous for thinking readers. This book is that. I happen to agree that we have multiple intelligences. Ms. DeBeauport does not pretend that any of them are unnecessary, yet she plays footloose with the rational intelligence when she traipses over logic and integrity. (In this I regard her book as common.) Her deductive reasoning is wonderful to follow in the introduction. To paraphrase, "I started with research, and I wanted to support my findings, and I found the usual rationalistic paradigm would not render them indisputable. So, I looked to the new physics and a lot of what follows is perceptible along non-rational pathways." Sounds a lot like medieval deductive reasoning to me--just a different axe to grind. The scholastics would feel right at home with this book. Similar Products
