Maurice D. Fisher, Ph.D. & Eugenia M. Fisher, Ed.D.     Editors

"Heroes of Giftedness: An Inspirational Guide is an exciting new edition to gifted education literature.  It well fulfills its purpose in the inspiring, exhilarating accounts of famous individuals and their contribution to the world.  Gifted students, teachers, and parents will benefit hugely from these biographies of great men and women who overcame personal and professional challenges to move forward in their fields.  The book is a singular compilation of biographies and offers many inside perspectives and anecdotal perceptions of heroes representing science, engineering, and inventing; medicine and biology; literature and poetry; art, dance, and the media.  Role models abound.  Gifted children and the adults who work with them will benefit from this compilation of heroes who are persons and distinct imparters to humanity.  Maurice Fisher has done something wonderful for all of us in gifted education.  We look forward to further editions."    Joan Smutny, Director    The Center for Gifted      National-Louis University

"My view of the world is that people are best served when they find their passion early on, because we tend to be good at things we're passionate about. I think we also need to find people whom we admire and try to emulate them."   Chesley Sullenberger, the Captain who successfully guided US Airways flight 1549 in the Hudson River on January 15, 2009 (From Air & Space Magazine, May 2009, p. 11)
