Abstract
"Inventing the Egghead: The Battle over Brainpower in American Culture." Aaron Lecklider. University of Pennsylvania Press. Match 2013. --- Throughout the twentieth century, pop songs, magazine articles, plays, posters, and novels in the West have represented intelligence alternately as empowering or threatening. In Inventing the Egghead, cultural historian Aaron Lecklider explores ideas of intelligence, social transformation, and education in the US. Many readers will enjoy this book, especially those interested in American history and culture, science and technology, or issues of social class, writes Jennifer Miller.
