"For someone with a background in current creativity research and theory, I recommend this book. It provides a fascinating look at many different approaches to creativity across the world."

"...the book offers uniquely wide-ranging perspectives from every continent in the world on creativity and creativity research. The most valuable contribution to the book is the mere fact that it gives voice to researchers from all major continents of the world (except Australia)."
