Books on the Gifted & Giftedness

Naturally, this is hardly a complete list, but there is a lot more out there now than when I was growing up. If you are a gifted adult, you'll find a lot here that is familiar; if you are raising a gifted child, send one of these books to your child's school. Most educators are taught about how mainstream children work, and don't have any education or training to spot or work with the gifted unless there is a specific person on staff for that (and only big, well-to-do schools are likely to have them). It's up to parents to help their children by educating their teachers and themselves if need be.
