Nature's Gambit: Child Prodigies and the Development of Human Potential.
Seller: BOOKHOME SYDNEY, Annandale Sydney, NSW, Australia
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), minor edgewear jacket. 266 pp. Nature's Gambit, by David Feldman (1986). An American professor of developmental psychology (Tufts University) discusses a 10-year-study of six remarkable children. The child prodigy is an extreme example of the same process of development we all experience. Nature's gambit refers to nature testing the delicate interplay between talent and environment. To understand prodigies is to better understand ourselves. From time to time nature takes a curious turn, creating children of awesome talent, toddlers who compose symphonies, youngsters who beat their elders in chess matches. Explains what lies behind their wondrous feats, and how that teaches us about our potential for creativity. Seller Inventory # 21393
