Several generations have faced this problem—a mediocre progeny born to a brilliant, outstanding parent. Dr. Achrekar, a software genius, faces the same problem with his biological son, Chetan. He decides to do something about it and invents a technological, identical, working alternative of his son. To test the performance of his invention, he appoints the brilliant, precocious teenager, Varsha Deshmukh. Varsha yearns to pursue her doctoral thesis on the subject of History of Technology and learn about sociology, under Dr. Achrekar’s guidance. But when twelve months have gone by, Varsha guesses that the “Chetan” she has been interacting with and observing, is not the real one. But she cannot let Dr. Achrekar know she is aware of it, as she has to achieve her academic objectives. Does Dr. Achrekar succeed in technologically supplanting his biological son, Chetan, who he feels is mediocre?

Savant syndrome is one of the most fascinating phenomena in the study of human differences and cognitive psychology. An individual with savant syndrome is one who has been identified with a rare condition, mental disabilities, or certain disorders, including autism spectrum disorder, and who has one or more areas of extraordinary ability or brilliance, in stark contrast to serious individual general limitations. Their skills emerge spontaneously; they are literal, not symbolic; and they are not derived from practice. Savants have no idea of how they possess these skills. Their condition may be genetic, but may also be acquired in the pre-natal, perinatal, or postnatal stages. There are also cases in which savant syndrome is acquired later in life, following a blow to the head, a stroke, a central nervous system injury, or disease.The most dramatic examples of savant syndrome occur in individuals with exceptional skills in certain areas who simultaneously score very low on intelligence quotient tests. It is paradoxical that individuals with a low intelligence quotient can perform extremely complex mathematical calculations that, in most cases, only individuals with a high IQ can perform. They may pose a challenge to many theories of intelligence, since their performance cannot be understood in terms of conventional intelligence. Individuals with savant syndrome have a prodigious memory and spatial visualization abilities, are attracted to numbers and calendars, and are generally fascinated by music and art. Other skills, such as polyglottism, occur less frequently. The most common kind of savants are calendrical savants, also known as "human calendars," who can calculate the day of the week for any given date with remarkable speed and accuracy. It is disputed whether calculation, rather than memory alone, is involved. Half of savants are autistic, while the other half has mental retardation, CNS injury or disease, or other types of disorders such as Williams' syndrome, Smith-Magenis syndrome, Prader-Willis syndrome, loss of corpus callosum, etc. On the other hand, approximately one in ten autistic people (10%) show savant abilities. Savant syndrome is also approximately six times more frequent in men than in women. Hill (1978) calculated that of 105 individuals classified as savant in 63 publications, at least 85% were men. One of the more plausible explanations for savant syndrome is associated with a dysfunction of the left hemisphere of the brain, whose skills are more abstract, logical, and symbolic, while the right hemisphere is used to compensate, leading to a cortical reorganization. There are many hypotheses associated with understanding more about the Savant syndrome, but none of them are completely sufficient. This is a very heterogeneous area of research historically dominated by anecdotal reports. Additionally, since each savant has their own peculiarities, most reviews take the shape of a collection of stand-alone descriptions. As Ammari (2011) has stated, "there is a lack of unifying definitions, diagnostic tools, age categories, and spectrum of prodigy all of which might be regarded as a disadvantage to savant syndrome." Considering all these factors, the purpose of the present essay is to analyze the different cases more rigorously, considering mainly persons with severe intellectual impairment who can perform in sharply circumscribed areas at a remarkable high level. This is the first time that so many profiles have been brought together in a single paper or book. Twenty-nine of these savants are men and seven are women. Twenty-four of them are from the United States, six are from England, and one each is from Scotland, Italy, Turkey, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Malaysia. Seven of the people profiled here are acquired savants whose abilities emerged after a CNS injury or disease.

In this fascinating book, Dr. Treffert looks at what we know about savant syndrome, and at new discoveries that raise interesting questions about the hidden brain potential within us all. He looks both at how savant skills can be nurtured, and how they can help the person who has them, particularly if that person is on the autism spectrum.

Novelist Honoré de Balzac was the first to use the phrase "Paris savant" to refer to the dynamic Parisian scientific and intellectual community of the late 18th century. The Academy of Sciences was highly active during this time, and was a meeting place for intellectual and scientific elite, who worked together toward the diffusion of scientific knowledge into Parisian society. The Royal Observatory was a headquarters for French astronomy, as well as the great geodesic project to map all of France. The Royal Mint hosted courses in chemistry and mining, and the Arsenal near the Bastille housed the laboratory of Lavoisier, the most celebrated chemist of the age. This book is the English translation of Bruno Belhoste's Paris Savant: Encounters in Enlightenment Science, originally published in France in 2011. Belhoste discusses how the Parisian scientific community came into its important place in the French Enlightenment, focusing on the Academy of Sciences. Chapters cover subjects such as what role Parisian geography played in the movement, the contributions of French scientists to industrial and urban improvement, and how the Academy of Sciences clashed with the revolutionary crisis, resulting in its closing in 1793. The translation includes a prologue for English readers.
