Dr Terman interviewed over 1,500 bright children and their parents and teachers in the early 1920s. He was hoping to find what determines success, so he followed them throughout their lives. He didn't manage to find an answer for what makes you successful (see Malcolm Gladwell's very good "Outliers" for that), but in one of those serendipitous things that happen in science, instead he left and enormous amount of data regarding these people's lives.

The authors, Friedman and Martin, along with various other collaborators, have trawled through Terman's data for 20 years, trying to answer questions about what determines longevity.
