"Whatever exists at all exists in some amount. To know it thoroughly involves knowing its quantity as well as its quality." Those are Edward Thorndike's words, from 1918, and they are the reason psychology learned to count. The version that circulates adds a clause — that whatever exists in amount can be measured — which is a considerably stronger claim, and it is not his. It appears to come from a 1939 textbook by someone else. That gap, between what he wrote and what he is quoted as writing, runs through everything he touched. It starts with a cat in a wooden crate. Thorndike put it ...

Through a clear and engaging narrative, readers discover ...

Pioneers of Human Behaviour: Alan Turing A Gateway to His Life, Ideas, and Legacy Alan Turing helped change the modern world before the world fully understood what he had done. Mathematician, codebreaker, computing pioneer, and early thinker of artificial intelligence, he gave us the universal machine, helped break German naval Enigma, asked whether machines could think, and opened new ways of understanding biological pattern.

Pioneers of Human Behaviour: Alfred Binet A Gateway to His Life, Theories, and Legacy Alfred Binet changed how the world thinks about intelligence.

This concise yet powerful volume distils Binet’s life and work into clear, engaging chapters. From his Paris laboratory and the creation of the Binet–Simon Scale to his humane concept of “mental orthopaedics,” the book traces how a scientist’s ...

When Pepper Stetler was told that her daughter who has Down Syndrome would be regularly required to take IQ tests to secure support in school, she asked a simple question: why? In questioning the authority and relevance of the test, Stetler sets herself on a winding investigation into how the IQ test came to be the irrefutable standard for measuring intelligence. The unsettling history causes Stetler to wonder what influence this test will have over her daughter's future and whether Louisa should be taking it at all.

Intelligence collection was done by rulers from time immemorial. In this volume, Vappala Balachandran gives an archival account of how it was practised over the ages – “from the Land of Canaan on Jordan river in the pre-biblical times where it succeeded, to Galwan on Ghulam Rasool Galwan river in the 21st century where it failed”. The author was a high-level national intelligence collector, adjudicator, analyst, and policy adviser to the Government of India between 1976 and 1995. On retirement he undertook deep studies for 26 years on global systems of intelligence, its successes, and...
