The author of 25 books translated into 28 languages, and several hundred articles, Gardner is best known in educational circles for his theory of multiple intelligences, a critique of the notion that there exists but a single human intelligence that can be adequately assessed by standard psychometric instruments.During the past two decades, Gardner and colleagues at Project Zero have been involved in the design of performance-based assessments; education for understanding; the use of multiple intelligences to achieve more personalized curriculum, instruction, and pedagogy; and the quality of interdisciplinary efforts in education. Since the middle 1990s, in collaboration with psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and William Damon, Gardner has directed the GoodWork Project-- a study of work that is excellent, engaging, and ethical. More recently, with long time Project Zero colleagues Lynn Barendsen and Wendy Fischman, he has conducted reflection sessions designed to enhance the understanding and incidence of good work among young people. With Carrie James and other colleagues at Project Zero, he is also investigating the nature of trust in contemporary society and ethical dimensions entailed in the use of the new digital media. Among new research undertakings are a study of effective collaboration among non-profit institutions in education and a study of conceptions of quality, nationally and internationally, in the contemporary era. In 2008 he delivered a set of three lectures at New York's Museum of Modern Art on the topic "The True, The Beautiful, and The Good: econsiderations in a post-modern, digital era."from http://www.howardgardner.com/bio/bio....

In his new book, Malcolm Gladwell examines the factors that make high-achievers different from the rest of us.  He explores the question: what makes high-achievers different? It turns out that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like and not enough attention to where they are from.  His answer: their culture, family, and generation.  In Outliers, he explains the secrets of software billionaires, what it takes to be a great soccer player, why Asians are good at math and what made the Beatles the greatest rock band.

Malcolm Gladwell is a Canadian journalist, author, and public speaker. He has been a staff writer for The New Yorker since 1996. His first five books were on The New York Times Best Seller list.

In this landmark work, Malcolm Gladwell introduces the phenomenon of contagious ideas.  Remember when you first heard about email or Murphy's Law? How about the advent of hybrid seed corn or the Big Mac Index? In each case, something invisible tipped into visibility.  That’s what happens in this book: a series of ordinary phenomena become extraordinary because the ideas are so clear, compelling and simple to grasp.

The Tipping Point

 In his bestselling bestseller The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell revolutionized the way we understand the world around us.  Now, in Blink, he turns his attention to understanding the world within.  Blink is a book about how our brains think without thinking—about the choices that seem to be made in an instant—that actually aren't as simple as they seem.  Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? How do our brains really work in the office, in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others? In Blink, we meet the psychologist who has learned to predict whether a marriage will last, based on a few minutes of observing a couple.

Talking to Strangers

 In The Tipping Point, Blink, and Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell has explored the ways we understand and change our world.  Now he looks at the complex and surprising ways the weak can defeat the strong, the small can match up against the giant, and how our goals (often culturally determined) can make a huge difference in our ultimate sense of success.  Drawing upon examples from the world of business, sports, culture, cutting-edge psychology, and an array of unforgettable characters around the world, David and Goliath is an in-depth study that is both playful and provocative.
