These challenges include (but are not limited to) the fact that definitions of giftedness are not standardized, that test ceilings are often too low to measure progress or growth, that comparison groups for exceptional individuals are often difficult to find, and that participant attrition in longitudinal studies involving special populations can compromise the validity of findings more severely than in studies with more general populations. The editors of this book make a strong case that these methodological issues can be overcome.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50037967094033,"sku":"CIN2081421208G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50510693400849,"sku":"GOR011116491","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":51481658261777,"sku":"CIN2081421208A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/2081421208.jpg?v=1751251586"},{"product_id":"mohammad-my-mother-and-me-book-benoit-cohen-9781938461859","title":"Mohammad, My Mother and Me","description":"Benoit Cohen, a French filmmaker living in New York learns that his mother Marie-France is about to welcome Mohammad, an Afghan refugee, into her mansion in the center of Paris where she lives alone.

Cohen knew he would have to tell his family's story, which took place in Paris, in conjunction with his mother and two brothers. After a devastating cancer diagnosis, his father was terrified of death. His family sought to prevent him from undue suffering or having their actions arouse suspicion. His father's lucidly tenacious, but fundamentally irrational self-denial in the face of a terminal diagnosis, reveals a revelatory chapter in one family's experience with grief, loss, death and dying. With respect and love, Benoit and his family are determined to find a way to help his father depart with dignity and ease. But they come up against the frustrations of a health care system in which palliative care can be difficult to access or is reserved for only a \"fortunate\" few. Personal choices regarding \"right-to-die\" issues are legally sanctioned in many countries, whereas in others they are met with the specter of criminality. As they discover, there are few legal options (if any) to explore the path to peaceful exit and relief.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52580960567569,"sku":"NGR9781938461705","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53037074022673,"sku":"NIN9781938461705","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-benoit-cohen.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
