Bringing together essays from a multidisciplinary group of contributors, this book covers the origins, characteristics, careers, and consequences of genius.  The coverage is broken into sections focusing on cognitive science, individual differences, life-span development, and social context.  It encompasses genius creators, leaders, and performers across a range of disciplines including science, philosophy, art, music, literature, politics and war.  The contributors examine genius from a variety of perspectives—including genetics, neuroscience, psychology, and more—to provide a comprehensive treatment of the subject.  Engaging with classic debates as well as the latest research, this handbook is a singular achievement in the scientific study of genius that opens new avenues for continued exploration of the topic in years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990372073701,"sku":"NP9781118367407","price":224.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781118367407.jpg?v=1761787558","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/the-wiley-handbook-of-genius-isbn-9781118367407","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
