An Exceptional Resource
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book provides the reader with the amazing panorama that is gifted child education, over the years and today. It covers major theories and schools of thought, introduces the most important thinkers, and lets you know why they are important. I can't recommend this book highly enough. It should be on the shelf of every parent, teacher, administrator or friend of a gifted child.
