The Journal of Human Intelligences
(JOHI) is a quarterly (Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall) electronic-only
publication. Initially published from 1999 to 2003 as The MI News,
the JOHI now publishes a wider range of writings associated with the overall
nature of human intelligences, including book reviews, educational research,
classical writings in the history of general intelligences, scholarly reports
from the broad areas of developmental education and cognitive psychology.
The Journal aims to attract publication from a diversity of theoretical and
methodological perspectives, encompassing research and scholarship relevant to
understanding the numerous theories about our many intelligences across all
age groups, cultural perspectives and educational settings. As the
journal's editor, I recognize that while a number of outlets for general
intelligence, or g, exists within most
major countries, there does not appear to be a medium specializing in the
dissemination of reports from the perspectives of human intelligences.
JOHI aims to provide such a medium.

The multiple intelligences of
Howard Gardner
Doing a Doctorate in Educational Ethnography Edited by Geoffrey
Walford, Kidlington, Oxford UK: Elsevier Science Ltd. 2002. 214 pp. ISBN
0-7623-0906-7. This book provides the reader with a first-rate introduction
to the qualitative research school of educational ethnography from multiple
contexts and theoretical perspectives. In all, eleven ethnographic
researchers contributed. I found the 214-pages of this book to be a
well-arranged series of stories of post-graduate students who undertook a
qualitative research study to complete their doctoral dissertations.

Remembering the Father of Neuropsychology A book review of The
Autobiography of Alexander Luria: A Dialogue with The Making of Mind with an
accompanying DVD Archive by Michael Cole, Levitin, Karl, & Alexander Luria
(Eds.). New Jersey: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Publishers. xvi + 276 pp.
BF109.L87C65 2005 ISBN: 0-8058-5499-1 Paperback. The book The
Autobiography of Alexander Luria A Dialogue with The Making of Mind is
dedicated to Alexander Romanovich Luria, one of the most prominent Russian
scientists of the 20th century. For some forty years, Luria conducted
research with great success on the functions of the brain such as analyzed the
changes in function as a result of local brain lesions, attention, learning
and forgetting and perception. As his academic life spanned a sizeable
section of the last one hundred years, this expanded and revised autobiography
gives readers a glimpse on the development of neurology and psychology in
Russia. Thus, I feel that this 'new' version will be of great interest
to an ever expanding number of Luria followers.
