Organized around interdisciplinary contributions, the volume covers theoretical models of giftedness, relationships between giftedness and intelligence, psychological and biological perspectives, and empirical findings from genetics and cognitive research. It also addresses prodigies, musical and scientific ability, mathematics-related reasoning, and interventions and family influences, concluding with closing remarks and supporting
