Description
Intelligence: A Very Short Introduction by Ian J. Deary explores the field of psychology that seeks to understand how and why people differ in their thinking powers. Drawing on large-scale data, Deary examines various types of intelligence, including its relationship with age, genes, environment, and cognitive epidemiology. The book tackles several burning questions about intelligence, such as whether larger brains are associated with greater intelligence, and how genetics and environments contribute to individual differences. Deary also considers the link between intelligence and better health, less illness, and longer life, and asks if intelligence is increasing. This new edition of Intelligence provides a clear overview of the data used to answer these questions, making it an accessible resource for those looking to understand this complex topic.
