Description
The first edition of this popular reference work was published in 1993 and received critical acclaim for its achievement in bringing together
international perspectives on research and development in giftedness and talent. Scholars welcomed it as the first comprehensive volume
in the field and it has proved to be an indispensable resource to researchers. Since the first edition, the scholarly field of giftedness
and talent studies has expanded and developed, welcoming contributions from researchers in related disciplines. Several theoretical frameworks
outlined in the first edition have now been empirically tested and a number of new trends have emerged.
The Second Edition of the International
Handbook of Giftedness and Talent provides an invaluable research tool to academics, researchers and students interested in the field
of giftedness and talent. The contributors are renowned in the field and the broad range of topics on giftedness that have been studied
in the past century, right up to the late 1990s, are represented in this volume. It is truly international in scope, bringing together
leading scholars and teachers from all around the world.
This new edition has been fully updated and rewritten and includes 22 completely
new chapters. It provides a comprehensive review and critical synthesis of significant theory; a unique cross-national perspective with
contributions from over 100 distinguished authors covering 24 nations; significant contributions from scholars working in related fields;
an increased focus on empirically supported scholarship; and is arranged for quick and easy reference with comprehensive subject and
author indexes.
