Description
Debunking a Persistent Myth: Challenges the long-held belief that intelligence is a fixed, biologically based trait-presenting it instead as more folklore than fact and inviting deeper interrogation of what intelligence really means. This reframing stands in bold contrast to conventional narratives.
Compact, Visually Rich & Accessible: Packed with engaging content and illustrations that make complex ideas digestible and compelling, this volume is perfectly suited for students, educators, and intellectually curious general readers.
Authoritative Series with Interdisciplinary Reach: This concise yet impactful work exemplifies a mission to bridge social sciences and STEM disciplines through accessible scholarship.
