About

An affordable and versatile reader that will make you smarter about intelligence.
Do you ever feel like someone is judging your intelligence? Where do those judgments come from and what do they mean? Those are some of the questions asked by Intelligence: A Bedford Spotlight Reader, through readings that explore intelligence in people, animals, machines, groups, prodigies, and more. Readings from journalists, teachers, scientists, historians, and others help you examine these concepts from a diverse range of perspectives, learn to write effectively about them, and understand more about this important concept.
