In my estimationGiftedness 101ranks high among authoritative texts devoted to this particular population of children. It not only offers thorough experience and knowledge-based insights to those who are already or are contemplating serving the social emotional needs of these children in the future, but also those who profess to educate future teachers, those who would venture out into classrooms charged with the teaching and many others besides. It should be required reading for politicians - especially those who shape educational policy.\"-Gifted and Talented International\"Linda Silverman is an articulate, insightful, authoritative, and extremely \"gifted\" international expert in the assessment of giftedness...[She] has created a gem withGiftedness 101.
