Creativity : an introduction

Kaufman, James C., (editor.). Sternberg, Robert J., (editor.).

Summary: "The editors of this textbook both teach courses on creativity. There is no lack of potential textbooks for our courses, including books we have written or edited. But both of us have experienced some frustration in trying to find a textbook that fits our courses. Either the books are too long or too short, or too low-level or too high-level, or just do not teach the topics we want to teach. And that is why we decided to create this textbook. This textbook is the second in a series. The first was Human Intelligence: An Introduction, also published by Cambridge University Press. The third, still in preparation, will be Wisdom: An Introduction, and will be published by Cambridge as well"--
