| Description: |
Debunking the myth that intellectually gifted people are either impractical social misfits or perfect specimens, author Marylou Streznewski, a specialist in gifted education, presents a study of 100 people ages 18 to 90. After defining giftedness, Streznewski examines old and new research on the nature of intelligence and other gifts and explores ways gifted people hide their talents. Other topics include special challenges within families, at school, as young adults, and in seeking challenging work; the plight of gifted dropouts and criminals; and how giftedness affects relationships, etc. |
