Actually, did try that but he apparently likes to go by Prof Dr as well. Subtracting grandmaster and martial from the search string gets one hit and it's gifted:

Dr. Irving Soto, Director of the National-State Leadership Training Institute of the Gifted and Talented.

Sato comes up with hits so documents may have misspells and we're actually looking for the Sato fellow.

Plowman and Rice are coming up with nothing accessible and just Project Talent. A Louise Bachtold wrote under their direction and has some "interesting" articles. She also did the Project Talent follow up. I don't think she liked us much.

Full contents aren't available free but gives you a taste of her thinking:

Back onto Sato/Soto.

Yeah but there's not much there to see. Most of it is locked away behind dollar signs for payment so really, it's just glimpses based on abstract and title. Sato seems pretty dry compared to Gowan.

I was thinking last night about the excerpts of those books on the CSUN site. It just seems so interesting that they would put those particular books up on the net after so long. Gowan would've been one of their notables but why those particular books? Someone reading them could potentially consider him to have been half mad at times in Book II though he does a decent job of proving his point. When you contrast them with what others have written on the subject of giftedness, it seems almost unabashedly outlandish, like he was out of step with the others, at least, in presentation. The actual books are prohibitively expensive or unavailable so it's quite a coup to have this access to them. I'm grateful for that. Yet, the timing of it bothers me because it almost correlates with a surge in tv programs about special, gifted children or child experiments that began in late 2008.

Maybe I'm seeing a correlation that doesn't exist but still, it was bugging me last night. Made me temporarily wonder if someone knew we would come looking for answers.
