Statements by Educators About Multiple Intelligences in the World

"Multiple Intelligences in the World gives us a fresh new creative approach to a topic inherent in education. The author has done a splendid job in identifying those ideas of eminent individuals through the centuries whose contributions and lives represent multiple intelligences in expression." -- Joan Smutny, Director, Center for Gifted, National Louis University, Evanston, Illinois

"There are many books about multiple intelligences, but this one is unique. Maurice Fisher has assembled a rich collection of quotations and sources which allow the reader to dig deeply into all eight human intelligences. This is a book that will be of use to the scholar who wants to investigate the operation of the intelligences as well as the casual reader who wants to get a feeling for the several intelligences." -- Professor Howard Gardner, Harvard University Graduate School of Education

"This latest work by Maurice Fisher is in my opinion very important and useful for two reasons: (1) it summarizes virtually the entire field of giftedness; and (2) it is a personal reclaimer for myself as a lifetime scholar of giftedness." -- Virgil S. Ward, Professor Emeritus of Gifted Education, University of Virginia

"This book provides teachers/educators of the gifted with insight into the nature of human abilities. It will transform the way we view and educate the gifted. It is imperative for anyone on the cutting edge of education reform and innovation to read and assimilate its ideas." – Michael E. Walters, Teacher-Mentor, New York City Public Schools, and Professor, Touro College, New York City
