Hally explores the science behind both human and artificial intelligence, even touching on animal intelligence to appease the animal lovers among us. By blending factual analyses with humor and plenty of background information to keep readers on the right page, Hally manages to render a potentially dry, dense subject more accessible. In fact, some of the most endearing qualities of this book are its frankness and careful accessibility. Each essay is prefaced with a helpful, yet non-condescending, introduction. It's an excellent gateway book for a novice who'd like an overview of general concepts of intelligence Those who are well-versed in the area of intelligence study are likely to enjoy this book for the perspectives it offers. As such, I'd recommend this book to anyone having an interest in the topic of intelligence, regardless of the level of refinement of that interest. Definite thumbs up!

O autorovi
Born and raised in San Francisco, California, Thomas Hally studied history and philosophy as an undergraduate and Latin American literature as a graduate student at the National Autonomous University of Mexico ("la UNAM") in Mexico City. He was a United States Army Captain during the Vietnam Conflict and, later, a computer programmer for the United States Army Corps of Engineers. Thomas began writing in the early 1970s, but it was not until the 2006 that he submitted anything and was published. Since then, he has flourished. The author is currently a writer for the Mensa International Journal, and he is the Poetry and Prose Editor and Foreign Language Editor of Telicom, the magazine for the International Society for Philosophical Enquiry. Hally is also the Vice President of the ISPE. He lives with his wife in the sleepy village of Ajijic on the shore of Lake Chapala, Mexico.
