Intelligence: A Bedford Spotlight Reader explores pervasive questions about the concept of intelligence: How do we judge intelligence in people, animals, and even machines? Where do our assumptions about intelligence come from? What does it mean to display genius-level intellect? How do we measure intelligence and is it affected by our identities? Readings by essayists, scientists, journalists, scholars, and inventors take up these questions and more. Questions and assignments for each selection provide a range of activities for students. 

The Bedford Spotlight Reader Series is an exciting line of single-theme readers, each reflecting Bedford’s trademark care and quality. An editorial board of a dozen compositionists at schools with courses focusing on specific themes assists in the development of the series. Each reader collects thoughtfully chosen selections sufficient for an entire writing course—about 35 pieces—to allow instructors to provide carefully developed, high-quality instruction at an affordable price. Bedford Spotlight Readers are designed to help students from all majors make sustained inquiries from multiple perspectives, opening up topics such as food, gender, happiness, language, music, science and technology, subcultures, and sustainability to critical analysis. The readers are flexibly arranged in thematic chapters, with each chapter focusing in depth on a different facet of the central topic. The instructor resource tab of each reader’s catalog page includes instructor support with sample syllabi and additional teaching resources.

A brief and versatile reader about intelligence at an affordable price.

Features

Multiple perspectives on intelligence and how it’s defined. In order to foster student engagement, five chapters, built around central questions about intelligence, offer numerous entry points for inquiry and discussion. A mix of genres, approaches, and levels allow instructors to tailor the book to their classroom, with thought-provoking selections, including these:

  • "Computer Machinery and Intelligence" by Alan Turing, a description of the origins of the "Turing test" for artificial intelligence.
  • "A Cultural History of Mansplaining" by Lily Rothman, in which the author provides vital context for a common term.
  • "What Makes a Prodigy?" by David Zambrick, an exploration of how working memory contributes to child-genius status.

Bedford care and quality in every volume. Each volume in the Bedford Spotlight Reader Series is developed with attention to design, pedagogy, and compelling readings that work in the classroom.

Affordable, and an ideal package option. Each Spotlight Reader offers plenty of material for a composition course while keeping the price low. Package any Spotlight Reader with Critical Thinking, Reading, and Writing: A Bedford Spotlight Rhetoric for free, or combine a Spotlight Reader with a Bedford/St. Martin's rhetoric or handbook for a significant discount.

Thoughtful support for writers and instructors. A general introduction, chapter introductions, and headnotes provide context, and prompts and assignments offer suggestions for discussion, informal writing, research; ways to connect selections; and assignments for writing.  Instructor resources, including sample syllabi and a list of related links and videos, are available at macmillanlearning.com.

An appendix, "Sentence Guides for Academic Writers." This section helps with an essential skill: working with and responding to others’ ideas. This practical module helps students develop an academic writing voice by giving them sentence guides, or templates, to follow in a variety of composing situations
