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. Efforts are also made in this edition to bring the work into closer contact with...

The US higher education system is on the verge of a revolution, so some observers claim. Archibald and Feldman, leading analysts, provide an incisive overview of the challenges facing and possibilities for America's universities and colleges in their training future generations. And they demonstrate that our higher education system is resilient and adaptable enough to weather the internal, external, and technological threats without changing campuses beyond recognition. The Road Ahead for America's Colleges and Universities examines the threats posed to the current health of...
