'This wide-ranging book serves both as an introduction to the study of creativity and as an up-to-date survey of research in the field by those at its forefront.' Howard Gardner, Harvard Graduate School of Education
'This volume delivers ground-breaking research in a timely and relatable manner for the study of creativity and development. A much-needed textbook for advanced undergraduates, graduates, and researchers.' Luanne Witkowski, University of Massachusetts
'The editors write and gather an eclectic assortment of essays on creativity that awaken the reader to the centrality of creation in all serious human endeavor. This is a brilliant, necessary work.' Robert Olen Butler, Pulitzer-Prize-winning author of A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain
'A useful asset to those teaching and learning about the concept and phenomenon of creativity. It hits the sweet spot of offering thorough topical coverage within creativity research, but not being so broad as to overwhelm a non-expert reader. In addition to an overview encapsulating the field of creativity today, the textbook thoughtfully reinforces the applicability of research on creativity and the idea that creativity is an essential, boundary-crossing phenomenon.' Lauren Jin Woo, Arizona State University and Danah Henriksen, Michigan State University
