Creativity for Critical Thinkers

Great condition

Hey, it was a required book.

Anthony Weston makes it clear within his Introduction (something the average consumer skips over) that the book is meant as a suppliment for teaching, a basis for language, and a starting point. The book serves just this purpose. Students should read this in tandem with other material. The book is plain, simple, accessible, and understandible. Too, Weston writes, the book is so simple that it may not serve more than a very basic and introductory purpose. For any course on creativity, this book is a short must.

If these people were creative, they could at least come up with a better design for the cover of their book. It matches the rest of it's contents. Unless you're required to buy this book, I wouldn't recommend it.

Nothing new or earth shattering here to add the to the literature on creativity. A lot of the content is pedestrian and somewhat outdated - group brainstorming is not as effective as individual brainstorming; trying to generate as many out of the box initiatives as possible is not as effective as setting limits within which to apply creative techniques. There are better books on creativity out there: try some Bryan Mattimore works or go to the original works from Edward de Bono, the father of lateral thinking.

Conosco già l'autore e mi piace tutto quello che scrive, questo libro non fa differenza. E' pratico, veloce ma utilissimo.
