The desire of creativity professionals to nurture and develop creativity until it becomes a habitual part of their actions, and their willingness to accustom themselves to something less, has been and continued to be a strength in this field. Focusing on issues surrounding stimulating creativity, the chapters in this volume exemplify this strength and represent continued current efforts to examine how creativity might be nurtured and developed.

This volume addresses key issues and assumptions about creativity as a potential discipline, making the progress of creativity studies more explicit and communicable to those within and outside of the field.
