Description: "In this fascinating and informative book, Howard Gardner explores all aspects of creativity, from the young child's ability to learn a new song through Mozart's conceiving a complete symphony; from the implications for creativity of studies of the brain to the effects of television on a child's imagination. A scholar of extraordinary breadth, Gardner here brings together insights from developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, philosophy, and other areas in cognitive science" --from back cover.
