The contributions to this volume are part of a collaborative, interdisciplinary attempt to clarify, expand and discover integrative patterns within current conceptual foundations for research and practice in fields pertaining to creative intelligence. Chapters in the first section ground the focus of this ambitious project. The authors in this section also make recommendations about the most effective ways to approach broad-scope exploration of theory pertaining to creative intelligence. The next section includes several conceptual frameworks that have potential for incorporating a wide range of phenomena pertaining to creative intelligence. Section Three includes clarifications of environmental influences on the development of creative intelligence and the sociocultural selection of giftedness. Authors in this section also deal with internal cognitive processes and the moral-ethical dimensions of mind. Finally, Section Four returns to broad-scope perspective taking.

This book is about bilingual young people who have been selected by their families to carry out the work of interpreting and translating to mediate communication between themselves and the outside world--between minority and majority communities. It examines the experiences of these young interpreters (YIs) and the skills they develop in order to fulfill this role. The purpose of this volume is to contribute to extending existing definitions of gifted and talented (GT), by proposing and offering evidence that YIs perform at very high levels of accomplishment when compared with others of their age, experience, and environment, and should thus be included in the 1993 US federal definition of giftedness. It is maintained that not only are these capabilities overlooked by existing assessment procedures, but also that there is little understanding of the ways in which the unique talents of YIs might be nurtured and developed in academic settings. A strong case is made that in order for such students to be identified as gifted on the basis of their bilingual abilities, the field of GT education must embrace the concept that bilingualism is a strength, and must make developing bilingualism a focus of programs designed to meet the needs of the multilingual student population in the US.

There is no doubt that innovations were, are, and will be extremely important for the individual and society. One way to understand the history of human culture is via its inventions and discoveries. All human cultural development builds on the amazing technological, scientific, educational, and moral achievements of the human mind. Today, people increasingly realize that innovations are even more critical than in the past. Thus, industrial competition is increasingly harsh and companies must continuously bring innovative products and services to the global market. To survive, companies need creative and inventive employees whose novel ideas are, to a certain extent, a necessity for the companies' continued existence and future success. Consequently, modern society desperately requires highly able citizens who can produce innovative solutions to current challenges and contribute new ideas that aid in the development and growth of the market for a particular product or service. People of exceptionally innovative ability thus remain an extremely important source of innovation and renewal. Hence, the new millennium is characterized by the need for innovative minds. Contemporary society, without doubt, is highly reliant on innovations. The future will be synonymous with innovation, since it will need an extremely high saturation of innovations in all areas of human endeavour. The purpose of the handbook is multifold: (a) to pose critical questions and issues that need to be addressed by research in a given subfield of innovation; (b) to review and evaluate recent contributions in the field; (c) to present new approaches to understanding innovation; and (d) to indicate lines of inquiry that have been, and are, likely to continue to be valuable to pursue. The handbook covers a wide range of topics in innovation. The handbook offers a broad analysis of what innovation is, how it is developed, how it is managed, how it is assessed, and how it affects individuals, groups, organizations, societies, and the world as a whole. The handbook will therefore serve as an authoritative resource on many aspects of theory, research, and practice of innovation. In short, the handbook can be considered as the first serious attempt to unify the field of innovation and, consequently, as the beginning of unified science of innovation. I hope that readers of this handbook will view it as serving that function. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: preface)
