A Century of Contributions to Gifted Education traces the
conceptual history of the field of gifted education. Bookended by
Sir Francis Galton's Hereditary Genius published in 1869, and
Sidney Marland's report to the United States Congress in 1972, each
chapter represents the life and work of a key figure in the
development of the field. While the historical record of gifted
education has previously been limited, A Century of Contributions
to Gifted Education explores the lives of individuals who made
fundamental contributions in the areas of eminence, intelligence,
creativity, advocacy, policy, and curriculum. Drawing heavily on
archival research and primary source documentation, expert
contributors highlight the major philosophical, theoretical, and
pedagogical developments in gifted education over the course of a
century, providing both lively biography and scholarly analysis.
Schools are increasingly diverse in their student population,
presenting new challenges for teachers. In light of these
challenges, schools remain important in the talent development
process. "A Teacher's Guide to Working With Children and Families
From Diverse Backgrounds" provides important information and
strategies for educators at all levels. The book is written for
educators who want all children to thrive in school, including
those who are twice-exceptional, those from lower income
backgrounds, and others who have been underrepresented in gifted
programming.

LASA Visual Culture Studies Section Book Prize, Latin American
Studies Association (LASA) Winner, Arthur P. Whitaker Prize, Middle
Atlantic Council of Latin American Studies, 2019 In the 1930s, the
artistic and cultural patronage of celebrated Mexican president
Lázaro Cárdenas transformed a small Michoacán city, Pátzcuaro,
into a popular center for national tourism. Cárdenas commissioned
public monuments and archeological excavations; supported new
schools, libraries, and a public theater; developed tourism sites
and infrastructure, including the Museo de Artes e Industrias
Populares; and hired artists to paint murals celebrating regional
history, traditions, and culture. The creation of Pátzcuaro was
formative for Mexico; not only did it provide an early model for
regional economic and cultural development, but it also helped
establish some of Mexico’s most enduring national myths, rituals,
and institutions. In Creating Pátzcuaro, Creating Mexico, Jennifer
Jolly argues that Pátzcuaro became a microcosm of cultural power
during the 1930s and that we find the foundations of modern Mexico
in its creation. Her extensive historical and archival research
reveals how Cárdenas and the artists and intellectuals who worked
with him used cultural patronage as a guise for radical
modernization in the region. Jolly demonstrates that the Pátzcuaro
project helped define a new modern body politic for Mexico, in
which the population was asked to emulate Cárdenas by touring the
country and seeing and embracing its land, history, and people.
Ultimately, by offering Mexicans a means to identify and engage
with power and privilege, the creation of Pátzcuaro placed art and
tourism at the center of Mexico’s postrevolutionary nation
building project.
