Abstract	This collection chronicles the development of the field of special education through the writings of Samuel A. Kirk and comments by contributing scholars in the introductions to each section. The selections of Kirk's work evidence his contributions to the many domains of special education. The testimony and comments by contributing scholars place Dr. Kirk's work in its historical context. The volume begins with a preface by James J. Gallagher, an introduction by William C. Healey, and autobiographical remarks by Samuel A. Kirk. Part II, "Early Childhood Special Education," includes an introduction by Merle B. Karnes followed by "Preschool and Early Education Programs for Handicapped Children" and "The Effects of Early Intervention." Part III, "Mental Retardation," offers an introduction by Herbert Goldstein and two papers: "Research in Education: Mental Retardation" and "Special Education in the 1970s." A section on learning disabilities is introduced by James C.
