Recenzje

'This superb collection of interdisciplinary essays contains 23 chapters, each written by an eminent scholar in the field of creativity … The vast differences between individual stories and experiences will appeal to graduate students and young researchers who may need confirmation that there are many ways to be a successful researcher and scientist, and seasoned scholars across a variety of disciplines may feel invigorated and refueled by recognizing themselves in the narrative and finding pieces of research questions connected to their own.'
