Inscribed by author on fep. DJ has a tear and creasing at top of rear flap. Howard Earl Gardner (born July 11, 1943) is an American developmental psychologist and John H. and Elisabeth A. Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education at Harvard University. He is currently the senior director of Harvard Project Zero, and since 1995, he has been the co-director of The Good Project. Gardner has written hundreds of research articles and thirty books that have been translated into more than thirty languages. He is best known for his theory of multiple intelligences, as outlined in his 1983 book Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences. Derived from a Kirkus review: It takes chutzpah to come up with a scheme for analyzing creativity--especially in subjects already exhaustively examined. But for psychologist and MacArthur fellow Gardner, it amounts to a natural progression from his earlier dissections of intelligence. Gardner chooses prototypes of each variety and provides capsule biographies and analyses along such themes as the child versus the adult creator, and the creator in relation to others and to the work. Gardner finds sufficient commonalities among his seven types of intelligence to provide a synthesis: an ``exemplary creator'' (E.C.). This individual is somewhat ``marginal'' in the social milieu, born into a reasonably comfortable family away from the creative center. E.C. moves into a decade of mastery of the domain and accomplishes a critical breakthrough that may include the affirmation of a few chosen peers. Second and third breakthroughs may develop in successive decades until old age takes its toll. One has to hand it to Gardner for offering some provocative post-Eriksonian thoughts on creativity that are stimulating.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 180 pages. Published in 1983. Memorial collection of photographs, with accompanying text. In effect, the companion volume to Robert Craft's indispensable books on Igor Stravinsky. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published simultaneously with the First British Edition in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Robert Craft's "A Stravinsky Scrapbook: 1940-1971". Meticulously and lovingly selected, assembled, and annotated by Patricia Schwark, from Robert Craft's archives, with minimal yet helpful text by him. Here are photographs of Igor and Vera Stravinsky, by Igor and Vera and many other friends and colleagues. It is nothing less than an intimate - and salient - pictorial treasure trove of twentieth-century cultural and intellectual history. As the book shows, Stravinsky himself was very much an avid photographer (Craft much less so). One of the loveliest - and most valuable - "casual snapshot" portrait-photographs Stravinsky took was of Maurice Ravel with Vaslav Nijinsky and the latter's wife, Bronislava Nijinska, looking out of a balcony, all three looking elegant, imperious, and beautiful, for they are three of the greatest artistic figures of the 20th century not named Stravinsky. Which Craft and Schwark save for near the end of the book, like an exclamation point. It appears in book form for the very first time. "Here are revealing glimpses of Stravinsky's friendships and encounters with some of the great personages of twentieth-century culture as well as intimate portraits" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Igor Stravinsky and Robert Craft collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed, dated (shortly after publication), and inscribed in black ink-pen on the second blank page by the author: "Dear B. , I am so sorry I was not in New York for your party. [Followed by inscription in French, which translates in English as 'Ah, where are the snows of yesteryears']. This is the sad season for me. Love - Bob, December 1983". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. The recipient, who is named, was unmistakably a close friend of Robert Craft, and by extension, also the Stravinskys, and cannot be named here. This title is a great book. This is the only such signed, publication-year dated, and inscribed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. It is the single most beautiful signed copy we have ever seen. Please note: Copies available online have very serious flaws (because they were avidly pored over). This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare, one-of-a-kind signed copy thus. The greatest composer of the 20th century. One of the most brilliant critics of the 20th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER ROBERT CRAFT AND IGOR STRAVINSKY TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0500013101. Signed by Author.
