Today, however, we expect to find the trait thriving in and around us. Why? In \u003ci\u003eCreativity\u003c\/i\u003e, Jan L hmann Stephensen provides a historical and contemporary view of creativity and explains why it is not always the answer to every problem. From van Gogh to Springsteen, L hmann Stephensen explores the creative process of artists in order to craft a new theory of creativity--marking it as a collective and dynamic process in flux, rather than a finished product with a set endpoint and sole creator. Finally, he warns, in the twenty-first century, the importance that employers place on creativity has warped the concept into a ubiquitous economic commodity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReflections\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Reflections, a series copublished with Denmark's Aarhus University Press, scholars deliver 60-page reflections on a key concept that encapsulates their years of study and research. These books present unique insights on a wide range of topics and concepts--everything from love, trust, and play to corruption, welfare, and sleep--that entertain and enlighten readers with exciting discoveries and new perspectives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/12\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781421444789\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 60","brand":"Jan L\u0026#248;hmann Stephensen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42159506063541,"sku":"9781421444789","price":7.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_56c48a0c-d73b-4246-b096-dc2df6f2f399.jpg?v=1653968892","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/creativity-9781421444789","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
