Challenging the most able

This book is a collection of essays on various issues relating to the teaching of gifted students in science. The product of a conference, Meeting the needs of the most able in science, hosted by Cambridge University, 15 authors contribute 16 chapters on the subject. Topics covered include identifying gifted learners, developing thinking skills, and strategies for provision for gifted students.  

Although written for teachers, my opinion is that this book will appeal to only a small subset of science teachers. The main drawback is the use of 'edu speak' throughout the text so that a simple statement, eg 'giftedness is not fixed but can develop over time', takes hundreds of words to convey.
