Abstract:
Getting to know students through their positive attributes, along with any obstacles to their success, can lead to academic, social, and behavioral growth. Defining twice exceptional (2e) as those whose high abilities are coupled with learning and/or behavioral challenges, this chapter illustrates 2e using the metaphor of green. This provides a fresh representation what being 2e means and also highlights why conventional educational plans may not be as effective as desired. To engage 2e students, the chapter introduces a practical, dynamic process––The Suite of Tools™—which allows educators to collect information about students’ strengths, talents, and interests and synthesize the information into a strength-based framework. Such information results in the development of personalized options to leverage strengths and interests for skill development, integrate strengths into the curriculum, and develop a personalized menu of talent development opportunities.

Abstract:
High-ability students with coexisting disabilities (i.e., twice exceptional) are challenging to diagnose and treat due to multiple issues, including variable definitions of what it means to be “gifted,” the influence of high intellectual or creative ability on mental health diagnostic presentation and intervention, time of onset of both the abilities and disabilities, and symptom-masking effects. While the child psychiatry and child clinical psychology fields offer several empirically validated intervention options, few have examined efficacy or effectiveness among twice exceptional youth. Also, extant studies are often fraught with methodological weaknesses. This chapter advocates that best clinical practice include implementing empirically validated interventions with attention to the child’s profile of abilities and talent domain, focusing on resilience and wellness/growth-promoting strategies, and providing advocacy, professional development, supervision, and training opportunities to educators and mental health professionals about this unique populations’ needs.

Abstract:
Prima Donna: The Psychology of Maria Callas explores the psychological mechanisms behind the hypnotic power of Callas’s artistry and her tragic life story. Advances in developmental psychology and the concept of narcissism are used to shed light on Callas’s puzzling personal deterioration during the last nine years of her life. Although precipitated by the trauma and shame over being abandoned by Aristotle Onassis and the precipitous deterioration of her voice, Callas midlife disintegration reflects deeper psychological vulnerabilities. Throughout her life, Callas’s lingering view that her career had been imposed upon her and that her mother compelled her to sing professionally led to her ambivalent relationship with the world of opera. Callas’s sense of superiority, derived from being celebrated for her special talent, coincided with feelings of vulnerability and inferiority embedded in her realization that she was celebrated not for her intrinsic worth but for her exceptional talent. Lacking a cohesive and integrated sense of self, she sought affirmation and vitality from merger with adoring audiences and older men, including her husband Battista Meneghini and her long-term partner Onassis. The propensity to fuse her identity with stage roles contributed to her artistic greatness, but envy and the lack of an intrinsic sense of meaning and worth enhanced her vulnerability to life’s vagaries.

Abstract:
This concluding chapter considers early twenty-first-century immigration controls as furthering national economic advantage. The immigrant I.M. Pei, with his imported talent and skills, illustrates the diminishing of racial inequality through his exceptional accomplishments and success even as he reflects the hollowness of such civil rights victories. The quantified overattainment by the Asian American model minority emanates in large measure from immigration preferences that privilege those most likely to succeed educationally, economically, and now entrepreneurially. Model minority successes have served as rebukes to less well performing minority populations by implying that their failure to attain equal standing does not result from past and ongoing discrimination but is somehow attributable to a lack of the kind of cultural values that would produce upward mobility in the land of equal opportunity.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the Duchess Sophie-Elisabeth's many accomplishments, as well as the cultural legacies that surrounded her and nourished her talents. Born a princess at the court of Güstrow, an active north German cultural center, Duchess Sophie-Elisabeth of Braunschweig-Lüneburg (August 20, 1613–July 12, 1676) made a distinctive mark on the course of German baroque music. Her noble rank and multifaceted talents gave her access to leading avenues of German cultural life, above all in music, along with a number of the most distinguished composers and performers of the seventeenth century. An ambitious and effective impresario, an ardent arts patron, and a serious, if not exceptional, composer, she triumphed over many adversities, administering and supporting the musical life at her husband's court of Wolfenbüttel with a strong sense of reality and initiative.

Abstract:
The talents of twice exceptional (2e) students are often hidden beneath the frustration and pain caused by years of educational misplacement. Finding and identifying them as gifted, in addition to recognizing disabilities and areas needing support, is a challenge. Identifying a gifted student with a disability requires comprehensive assessment with diverse tools that allow the examiner to see both strengths and weaknesses of an individual. Education and experience working with gifted students and special education students is invaluable in understanding the special needs of the 2e population and the unique ways they respond to assessment. With comprehensive assessment by qualified clinicians, more 2e kids will be accurately evaluated, identified, and served.

Abstract:
Meeting the needs of students who are twice exceptional (2e), those with gifts and talents as well as areas of disabilities, can feel daunting. Responding to the complexities of strengths and challenges of 2e students requires flexibility, innovation, and most especially teamwork. This chapter explores how the needs of 2e students change across the lifespan, sharing the role of the problem-solving team from early childhood through postsecondary planning. The chapter includes (a) problem-solving guidelines that foster collaboration to address academic, social, and emotional success; (b) examples of instructional strategies using universal design for learning and differentiated instruction for pre-K though postsecondary; and (c) family partnership approaches to support the students’ success.

Abstract:
The conclusion summarizes some of the major commonalities of aerial women across time and geography, such as flying females as revealers of gender conflict. One answer to the question of why are there so many female fliers and so few male ones, is that women felt oppressed by patriarchy-induced domesticity, so tales about the freedom of aerial women were alluring to them; therefore they preserved and retold those tales. The stories and myths presented here also point to the “exceptional woman,” who has not always been a friend to other women. Additionally, aerial women have often been associated with war, or presented as a dead warrior’s reward, as goddesses hovering over battlefields, and as pilots. Overall, flight of any kind has historically empowered women.

Abstract:
This chapter explores the programmatic components of a successful strength-based school serving twice exceptional (2e) students in grades 4 through 12. The chapter first provides a brief overview of the school’s background to shed light on the unique learning needs of 2e students and discusses the institutional foundations and beliefs that best support student growth. An overview of the school’s Multiple Perspectives Model shows how faculty members focus on several factors—including students’ gifts and talents, learning differences, and family contexts—to make decisions about learning strategies in a dynamic educational environment. The school stresses the importance of a culture of appreciation of students’ strengths while differentiating and dual differentiating their curricula to move students forward to appropriate levels of depth and complexity in their learning. Finally, the chapter underscores the need for flexible school policies that embrace creative problem-solving and put the needs of the student above external rules and regulations.

Fontana, Biancamaria. Literary History and Political Theory in Germaine de Staël’s idea of Europe. Edited by Paul Hamilton. Oxford University Press, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199696383.013.2.

Full text
Abstract:
The key question that needs to be addressed when considering Germaine de Staël’s contribution to what is conventionally called European Romanticism, is: how did she get there? How can we trace the path that led from the shapeless intellectual ambitions of an exceptionally talented young woman, thoroughly educated in the tradition of the Enlightenment, to a set of novel intuitions about modern society, about the politics, morals, and aesthetics of a new age? This chapter explains how Staël became a political activist, a leading figure (if not a leader) in her own party, the catalyst of a set of converging reflections on republicanism and representative government; a dissident writer and intellectual with an international reputation, the promoter of exchanges amongst cultures and of new aesthetic trends; a historian whose narrative of the Revolution of 1789 would become an essential reference for posterity.

Abstract:
From the lush forests of Appalachia to the frozen tundra of Alaska, and from the tallgrass prairies of the Midwest to the subtropical rainforests of Hawaii, the United States harbors a remarkable array of ecosystems. These ecosystems in turn sustain an exceptional variety of plant and animal life. For species such as salamanders and freshwater turtles, the United States ranks as the global center of diversity. Among the nation's other unique biological features are California's coast redwoods, the world's tallest trees, and Nevada's Devils Hole pupfish, which survives in a single ten-by-seventy-foot desert pool, the smallest range of any vertebrate animal. Precious Heritage draws together for the first time a quarter century of information on U.S. biodiversity developed by natural heritage programs from across the country. This richly illustrated volume not only documents those aspects of U.S. biodiversity that are particularly noteworthy, but also considers how our species and ecosystems are faring, what is threatening them, and what is needed to protect the nation's remaining natural inheritance. Above all, Precious Heritage is a celebration of the extraordinary biological diversity of the United States.

Full text
Abstract:
It's not often that a remake outshines its original but David Cronenberg's “reimagining” of The Fly (1986) is one of those rare exceptions. Equal parts horror, science fiction, and romance, The Fly takes the premise of its 1958 original — a man unintentionally fusing with a housefly during an experiment in teleportation — and reinterprets the plot as a gradual cellular metamorphosis between these two organisms. This book teases out the intricate DNA of The Fly and how it represents the personalities of many authors, including a distinguished history of Man-as-God tales stretching back to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818). Drawing from interviews with cast, crew, film commentators, and other filmmakers, the book interlaces the “making of” travails of The Fly with why it is one of the most important examples of master storytelling ever committed to screen.

Full text
Abstract:
Germaine de Staël (1766–1817) is perhaps best known today as a novelist, literary critic, and outspoken and independent thinker. Yet she was also a prominent figure in politics during the French Revolution. This book sheds new light on this often overlooked aspect of Staël's life and work, bringing vividly to life her unique experience as a political actor in a world where women had no place. The banker's daughter who became one of Europe's best-connected intellectuals, Staël was an exceptionally talented woman who achieved a degree of public influence to which not even her wealth and privilege would normally have entitled her. During the Revolution, when the lives of so many around her were destroyed, she succeeded in carving out a unique path for herself and making her views heard, first by the powerful men around her, later by the European public at large. The book provides the first in-depth look at her substantial output of writings on the theory and practice of the exercise of power, setting in sharp relief the dimension of Staël's life that she cared most about—politics. She was fascinated by the nature of public opinion, and believed that viable political regimes were founded on public trust and popular consensus. The book shows how Staël's ideas were shaped by the remarkable times in which she lived, and argues that it is only through a consideration of her political insights that we can fully understand Staël's legacy and its enduring relevance for us today.

Wani, Aijaz Ashraf. What Happened to Governance in Kashmir? Oxford University Press, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780199487608.001.0001.

Full text
Abstract:
What Happened to governance in Kashmir? studies the state of Jammu and Kashmir from the perspective of an ‘exceptional state’ rather than a ‘normal state’, a periphery on the margins of the centre, and thus shifts the focus from the central grid to the local arena. It contains a mass of information on what successive governments did to manage the conflicted state of Jammu and Kashmir. It identifies the various issues and problems the state has been confronted with since the transfer of power to ‘popular’ government in 1948 to 1989. The book makes a critical study of the engagement of Indian state and its clientele governments and patronage democracies with political instability to create ‘order’ in ‘durable disorder’. With having examined the different political, military, legal, economic, social, and cultural strategies, instruments and tactics employed by the state at different times to suit changing environments, this is the first work on post 1947 Kashmir which brings together many capital dimensions of state, politics, and governance in Kashmir under one cover. While critically delineating the doings of the governments, the book does not only provide flesh and blood to some existing narratives, it also modifies and even refutes some of the long held assumptions on the basis of hitherto unexamined evidence. All in all, the book illuminates the reader about the policies of Indian state towards Kashmir and the extent the successive governments have succeeded in winning the emotional integration of Kashmiris with the Indian Union. As Sheikh Abdullah was a central figure of Kashmir politics and governance, the readers will find a refreshingly new light on his governance when he was in power, and a most influential agency to mould the public opinion when he was out of state power. Similar revealing information on the other governments are documented for the first time. Having studied each government in its own right, we find the governance characterized by change in continuity. Indeed, governance in Kashmir does not constitute one single development. In essence it is a diachronic assemblage, a composite result of different systems each with its own internal or imposed coherence moving at different speeds—some are stable, some move slowly, and some wear themselves out more quickly depending on various forces and factors. What Happened to Governance in Kashmir? is a telling tale on the state of governance in Kashmir; the policies and strategies adopted by Indian state and the successive patronage governments to grapple with the multifarious problems of the state. Kashmir is an ailing state. It is the victim of colonialism and partition, which subverted its geographical centrality with serious economic implications besides making it a permanent conflict state causing immense human and material loss. Besides being claimed by India, Pakistan, and Kashmiris, it is also a rainbow state very difficult to manage with various ethno-regional and sub-regional nationalities at cross-purposes. Added to this, it is a dependent state. This book situates governance in its total milieu and examines the governance in the framework of challenge and response continuum. It unfolds how in a conflict state like Kashmir democracy and governance is always guided and controlled. This is the first comprehensive book on the post 1947 governance in Kashmir.
