Title
Talent in context: Historical and social perspectives on giftedness
Abstract
There is a dynamic interplay of social and historical forces that shapes the conceptualization and nurturing of talent. In "Talent in Context," eminent contributors address the various social and historical contexts within which giftedness evolves.
Chapters span a variety of perspectives—psychological, sociological, biological, and anthropological—to spark a reexamination of assumptions about the impact of context on the emergence of talent. "Talent in Context" explores many of the cutting-edge themes driving talent research across disciplines and will be a valuable resource for professionals in the social and behavioral sciences seeking to define, understand, and enhance the talents of extraordinary individuals.
