Author Description

The growing interest in the psychology and education of gifted and talented persons has resulted in a substantial increase in the number and variety of contributions to the literature in this area of study. In selecting readings for this book we have attempted to include a representative sample of recent research and commentary on various aspects of giftedness. At the same time, an effort has been made to preserve the important contributions of the past by including several selections that are clearly a part of the foundation upon which this special area of psychology and education was built.
