Written by the foremost experts in human intelligence. It not only includes traditional topics, such as the nature, measurement, and development of intelligence, but also contemporary research into intelligence and video games, collective intelligence, emotional intelligence, and leadership intelligence. In an area of study that has been fraught with ideological differences, this Handbook provides scientifically balanced and objective chapters covering a wide range of topics. It does not shy away from material that historically has been emotionally charged and sometimes covered in biased ways, such as intellectual disability, race and intelligence, culture and intelligence, and intelligence testing. The overview provided by this two-volume set leaves virtually no area of intelligence research uncovered, making it an ideal resource for undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals looking for a refresher or a summary of the new developments.

I am not a researcher or specialist in this field, though I do have a long time interest in the nature of intelligence--- both human intelligence and machine capabilities aiming towards intelligence. I find this book a pleasure and joy to read through. The endorsement comments made by the prominent academics are spot on. This two volume set is beautifully crafted and curated. Every article is well written and well organized. It is easy to skip around to find the chapters or sections within chapters that the reader may be particularly interested in or want to skip over. Creating this updated 2nd edition was obviously an incredibly large labor of love by Professor Sternberg. Everyone interested in the nature of intelligence-- from academic researchers who specialize in the area to non-specialist who want to understand and follow these developments--- is fortunate that Professor Sternberg worked with all the co-authors to produce this handbook. A gigantic thank you! Steven Miller, Professor Emeritus of Information Systems, Singapore Management University
