Editorial Review | This is the most demanding book I have had to review because it is difficult to do it justice... It is thought provoking, erudite, accessible and informed. It is a must for anyone who has a serious interest in gifted education and who wants to extend and enrich their thinking on what we really mean by disadvantage and how to move forward to realising equity and excellence for all.' - Sue Mordecai, Senior Adviser in Education, Bromley, London, UK |
