Transformations refer to all manners of changes that a thing or person can undergo. Specifically, he argued that reality involves transformations and states. Piaget believed that reality is a dynamic system of continuous change, and as such is defined in reference to the two conditions that define dynamic systems that change. The Nature of Intelligence: Operative and Figurative Intelligence Below, there is first a short description of Piaget’s views about the nature of intelligence and then a description of the stages through which it develops until maturity. Moreover, Piaget claims the idea that cognitive development is at the centre of human organism and language is contingent on cognitive development. It is primarily known as a developmental stage theory, but in fact, it deals with the nature of knowledge itself and how humans come gradually to acquire it, construct it, and use it. Piaget’s theory of cognitive development is a comprehensive theory about the nature and development of human intelligence first developed by Jean Piaget. ![]() ![]() ![]() Then, when a secret one of them holds becomes known, their sanctuary is gone forever and it appears a terrible power may become unleashed.

And there are no binding issues with the covers. The pages are nicely tight, just as you would want them. That being said, the book is very solidly bound from cover to cover. The spine has a forward lean just over its bottom quarter. ![]() THe covers have some bowing, and the front cover sits a little higher at the top than the rear one. The top ones show a very slight suggestion of fading, and from only one angle a little spotting perhaps. There's a wrinkle at the bottom edge of the spine. The red and white lettering and design is bright and unworn. There's also some toning, more so on the rear. The rear cover has more, but none of it jumps out at you. The front has only a small number of very mild, hard-to-see spots. Ask for other photos if you have an interest. You can see the light blue front cover of the book in the photos. There's also a first sans jacket with a signature on a loose sheet going for $3,500.00. The signed second with second printing jacket is selling for $5,500.00. What's the value of the signature versus the book itself? The signed first with the first issue jacket is selling for $12,000.00. ![]() I found one other second printing, and one other first with a solid dust jacket. There's no comparable!
