Excellent common sense approach to 'gifted'

This is a great book for progressive educators and parents. It is a collection of chapters where the modern 'gurus' of the gifted movement answer the same questions - define 'gifted' and cocnceptions of giftedness. Not for those who are adament that IQ alone makes someone gifted. It looks holistically at giftedness, schools and kids. Such a shame that this common sense approach isn't followed by all schools
