    5.0 out of 5 stars An Essential Book
    Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    First, this book is a collection of short essays on various subjects regarding education and gifted children, all of which are essentially state of the research essays: that is, they briefly survey studies that touch on the subject at hand and summarize what is known and unknown. Which is not in any way meant to be a condemnation of this book. It is but description.

    That said, this is not only an excellent source book on the subject, but nigh requisite for parents, educators, and anyone who is in any way involved with how gifted and talented programs are handled in public education. Especially for those who are active or invested in how gifted programs are run in school systems. Indeed, it is a weapon in the fight to defend such programs from attack, and a potent tool to help programs grow intelligently.

    Simply: if you have a gifted child or if you are involved in how educational systems treat gifted children, buy this book. Read it. Wield it.

    I am reading this book for a graduate class. I think it is very informative and well written. The chapters are easy to understand, thorough, useful, and succinct. I recommend it to teachers, counselors, physicians, school administrators, or parents of gifted children who want to understand this group of students better.

    This book is filled to capacity with results of research on Gifted children and adolescents. Each chapter tackles a different aspect of the issue. Very complete but also superficial. More important, it lacked a cohesive thread binding the chapters together. But if you want a book that packs a whole lot int a few hundred pages, this is the one.

    This book has some wonderful insights into the emotional needs of gifted children. I wish it had been a little more applicable to teachers and less research focused. I may have just chosen the wrong book for what I need as a teacher of gifted students.

    The book contains a wealth of information on the subject and includes contributions from various leaders in the field.
    However, despite being a new copy, it fell apart on first reading. Shame on the publisher for producing such a shoddy binding.
    Other readers might want to consider getting an electronic copy or alternative edition.
