Widely read by the general public as well as by educators, this influential book laid out Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences.

The thinkers he most admires—including historian Richard Hofstadter, biologist Charles Darwin, and literary critic Edmund Wilson—are exemplary synthesizers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGardner contends that the synthesizing mind is particularly valuable at this time and proposes ways to cultivate a possibly unique human capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46369969963244,"sku":"9780262044264","price":50.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/7555653482281.jpg?v=1744800958"},{"product_id":"changing-minds-by-howard-gardner-9781422103296","title":"Changing Minds","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThink about the last time you tried to change someone's mind about something important: a voter's political beliefs; a customer's favourite brand; a spouse's decorating taste.
