Reviews

A Yankee Book Peddler UK Core Title for 2012 A Yankee Book Peddler US Core Title for 2012 Classified as 'Research Essential' by Baker & Taylor YBP Library Services 'The Collective Imagination is quite simply a tour de force. It traverses the grand landscape of creativity and its sources. It explores with original and persuasive clarity the links, in nations and regions, between economic prosperity and creative individuals. Its argumentcarries fateful implications for Western countries today-highlighting political failure, economic policy stupidity, and a blindness to the factors necessary for innovation, and thereby for social vitality.' John Carroll, La Trobe University, Australia 'The Collective Imagination is a fascinating and kaleidoscopic work. It constitutes one of the most illuminating and comprehensive explorations of that mysterious and elusive dimension of human experience: acts of creation ... any future discussion of creativity that did not engage with The Collective Imagination would be deficient.' Craig Browne, Thesis Eleven
