Emerging from often conflicting studies is the provocative idea that intelligence evolved as an adaptation humans needed to keep up with - and survive in - challenging new environments. The Handbook of Intelligence addresses a broad range of issues relating to our cognitive and linguistic past. It is the first full-length volume to place intelligence in an evolutionary/cultural framework, tracing the development of the human...

Children are being diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders at a staggering rate-as many as one in 110, according to some studies.

The first volume dedicated solely to its topic, Interventions for Autism Spectrum...
