This book was the first handbook where the world's foremost 'experts on expertise' reviewed our scientific knowledge on expertise and expert performance and how experts may differ from non-experts in terms of their development, training, reasoning, knowledge, social support, and innate talent. Methods are described for the study of experts' knowledge and their performance of representative tasks from their domain of expertise. The development of expertise is also studied by retrospective interviews and the daily lives of experts are studied with diaries. In 15 major domains of expertise, the leading researchers summarize our knowledge on the structure and acquisition of expert skill and knowledge and discuss future prospects. General issues that cut across most domains are reviewed in chapters on various aspects of expertise such as general and practical intelligence, differences in brain activity, self-regulated learning, deliberate practice, aging, knowledge management, and creativity.
Declan As a made man, obligations are my middle name. As a Five Pointer? Those obligations are even more complicated. I fell for her when I belonged to another. Another I didn't love. Another I loathed. Who trapped me in a vise, and blackmailed me into being hers. I was born a filthy fecker, dragged kicking and screaming into a cold, hard world. My son isn't like me. He isn't filthy. I don't want to pollute him, but I will. Because I'm a b*stard. Born filthy. I don't want that for Seamus. I want to step up. Be the father he deserves. And Aela? I want her just as much as I want to be a part of his life. Of course, she's nothing like I imagined. When I first wanted to wife her, she was young. Pliable. Now? She won't take what I want to give her. She wants it all. Every part of me. But my heart died a long time ago. If anyone can resuscitate it, it's her, but first, I need to become a better man. And that might be the one thing I can't do.
