Back Cover

What is intelligence? Is it solving a difficult math problem, knowing how to build a skateboard, or having good social skills? Depending on your point of view and the culture you live in, any one of these answers may be correct. Intelligence takes a closer look at what it means to be smart. Find out how scientists test intelligence and how new ideas are being used in the classroom. You can even learn how to make the most of your brainpower with a few simple tips.

About the Author

Linda Wasmer Andrews learned to read and write at a young age, so she got the "smart kid" label early in school. She didn't turn out to be all that smart about a lot of things; to this day, she can't catch a ball, read a map, or set the time on her DVD player. However, she did become a busy writer. She is the author of five books and more than 1,700 book chapters, magazine and newsletter articles, and Web pages. Her specialty is writing about psychology, health, and the mind-body connection. Linda lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with her husband. She has a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of New Mexico.
