In a provocative and at times chucklesome discussion across six chapters, Restivo encourages us to rethink the individualized sources and attributed value of being an intellectual pioneer. An altogether imaginative argument and enjoyable read.? ?Jaber. F. Gubrium, Professor of Public Health, College of Nursing, University of Massachusetts and Professor Emeritus, University of Missouri, USA ?From a decidedly sociological perspective, Restivo argues that the self is dependent on a person?s social contexts, so much so that the very existence of an individual self is in question. His newest work is a bold re-imagining of the nature of the self, an important antidote to the long-lived but incomplete conception of genius as localized within a gifted individual?s brain.? ?David. S. Moore, Professor of Psychology, Pitzer College and Claremont Graduate University, USA, and author of The Dependent Gene: The Fallacy of ?Nature vs. Nurture? (2002); and The Developing Genome: An Introduction to Behavioral Epigenetics (2015). This book reviews the research on Einstein?s brain from a sociological perspective and in the context of the social brain paradigm. Instead of ?Einstein, the genius of geniuses? standing on the shoulders of giants, Restivo proposes a concept of Einstein the social being standing on the shoulders of social networks. Rather than challenging Einstein?s uniqueness or the uniqueness of his achievements, the book grounds Einstein and his achievements in a social ecology opposed to the myths of the ?I,? individualism, and the very idea of ?genius.? ?Einstein? is defined by the particular configuration of social networks that he engaged as his life unfolded, not by biological inheritances. 410 0$aPalgrave pivot. 606 $aNeuropsychology 606 $aTechnology?Sociological aspects 606 $aPhilosophy of mind 606 $aNeurosciences 606 $aCulture 606 $aNeuropsychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y12030 606 $aScience and Technology Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22270 606 $aPhilosophy of Mind$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E31000 606 $aNeurosciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B18006 606 $aSociology of Culture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22100 615 0$aNeuropsychology. 615 0$aTechnology?Sociological aspects. 615 0$aPhilosophy of mind. 615 0$aNeurosciences. 615 0$aCulture. 615 14$aNeuropsychology. 615 24$aScience and Technology Studies. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Mind. 615 24$aNeurosciences. 615 24$aSociology of Culture. 676 $a530.092 700 $aRestivo$b Sal$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$050146 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bCaOWtU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910367260003321 996 $aEinstein?s Brain$92193124 997 $aUNINA
