In this volume three of the key figures in the field set out to establish some parameters for the study of creativity. After examining the earlier works on the subject, they present their current research findings, and then attempt to project where the field is likely to go in the decade ahead.

This revised edition updates and extends theory and research on nonuniversal developmental domains and related topics. New chapters include a summary of ten years of additional research on the transitions model, as well as introductions to new work on the development of expertise, creativity, and cultural organisms. In this second edition, the author argues that developmental science has transformed since the first edition, consistent with the proposed changes for the field introduced in the first volume.

Much of what is written about colleges and universities ties rapidly rising tuition to dysfunctional behavior in the academy. Common targets of dysfunction include prestige games among universities, gold plated amenities, and bloated administration. This book offers a different view. To explain rising college cost, the authors place the higher education industry firmly within the larger economic history of the United States. The trajectory of college cost is similar to cost behavior in many other industries, and this is no coincidence. Higher education is a personal service that relies on...
