Index.

"This book surveys the history and measurement of intelligence
through seven metaphors commonly used in the field: geographical
(maps), computational, biological, epistemological, sociological,
anthropological and systems. This treatment is extended through the
chapters of the book dealing with measurement and discussions of
the genetic and environmental bases of intelligence as well as
group (sex and race) differences." The Scientific and Medical
Network

"This book is, therefore, strongly recommended to all serious
undergraduate or postgraduate students of intelligence or to anyone
interested in the historical development of psychological
constructs." Social Psychological Review, October 2005
