  • Reviews the book, The development of giftedness and talent across the life span edited by F. D. Horowitz et al. (see record 2009-00231-001). The book is organized logically by developmental period and divided into five sections: 'Infancy and Early Childhood,' 'Childhood,' 'Adolescence,' 'Adulthood and Later Years,' and 'Life-Span Perspectives: Understandings and Implications.' The book is best suited for researchers and educators and would not necessarily be accessible to the lay reader or parent of a gifted child. The book addresses the specificity of talent and individual differences, that a person's giftedness may be specific to one or more areas rather than a consistent trait across domains. The book also suggests that giftedness flows like ebbs and tides across the lifespan, and a gifted child may not necessarily become a gifted adult. The book places a stronger emphasis on the cultivation and development of talent and the critical need for positive interventions at key points in a gifted person's development. Though the book makes a noble effort toward recognizing giftedness across the lifespan, it does not completely succeed. The preface acknowledges the gaps in the literature and expresses a hope that the book 'will inspire developmental psychologists and others to move the field forward'.
