This second edition of the renowned Cambridge Handbook of Creativity expands on the first edition with over two thirds new material reaching across psychology, business, entrepreneurship, education, and neuroscience. It introduces creativity scholarship by summarising its history, major theories and assessments, how creativity develops across the lifespan, and suggestions for improving creativity. It also illustrates cutting-edge work on genetics and the neuroscience of creativity, alongside creativity's potential for both benevolence and malevolence. The chapters cover the related areas of imagination, genius, play, and aesthetics and tackle questions about how cultural differences, one's physical environment, mood, and self-belief can impact creativity. The book then examines the impacts on creativity of behaviour by teachers, managers, and leaders in particular. Advance praise: 'Three quarters of a century ago, creativity was hardly on the radar screen for social science. Today, thanks to the contributions in this handbook, any energetic reader can survey the remarkable progress that's been made on many fronts.' Howard Earl Gardner, John H. and Elisabeth A. Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education, Harvard Graduate School of Education, Massachusetts 'Somewhat to my surprise, and very much to my fascinated delight, I have found that the second edition of The Cambridge Handbook of Creativity, has explained me to myself. This is a remarkably rich and nuanced book, which will benefit my own work. I return to my writing desk enlightened and expanded.' Robert Olen Butler, Francis Eppes Distinguished Professor, Florida State University, USA, and winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction (1993) and the F. Scott Fitzgerald Award for Outstanding Achievement in American Literature (2013) 'In light of the ever-changing landscape of interest in the study, evolution, understanding, and application of creativity and creative thinking, this volume is not only valuable as a foundational textbook, it is a wonderful and vital resource for researchers, specialists, and professional development program developers. Its approach answers the 'who, what, where, why, and how?' of it all, while delivering impressive scholarly and timely research in the field. This book is a must-have!' Luanne E.
