| Summary |
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.
