ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Many artists and creativity scholars have guided our thinking in this overwhelming field of inquiry. Listing them in the “References and Resources” section is a woefully inadequate means to recognize their contributions to the field of creativity research and to our work in particular. A few deserve special mention, including Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi for his pioneering work recognizing common themes in a variety of creative domains, Howard Gardner for challenging much of the prevailing wisdom on creativity in the educational context, and Douglas Hofstadter for creating enduring understandings of how creativity of necessity involves many disciplines and perspectives. Shelley Carson has expanded our conception of the accessibility of creativity to a wider group of practitioners, while Oshin Vartanian, Adam Bristol, and James Kaufman have helped apply the latest evidence from neuroscience to creativity. Ronald Beghetto, James Kaufman, and Tony Wagner have brought the subject to classrooms, schools, and educational systems around the world. Edward Tufte was doing design thinking (that is, linking art, mathematics, history, sociology, politics, and sports in ways that are substantive and beautiful) decades before the term became in vogue. There will be plenty to say about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Pablo Picasso, and their creative colleagues later.
Our publisher, Solution Tree, has been unusually patient in bringing this book to press. It is Doug’s eighth collaboration with this premier educational publisher, and we are grateful for their support, challenging insights, and careful editing. It takes a courageous publisher to bring challenging work to the mainstream of professional educators and leaders around the world, and Solution Tree does this with a commitment to quality that is without peer.
We are particularly grateful to Douglas Rife, publisher of Solution Tree Press, Jeff Jones, CEO of Solution Tree, and the anonymous reviewers who left our original work and our delicate egos in tatters more than a year before the final work was completed. Although we have done our best to incorporate their thinking into the pages that follow, the errors that remain are solely our responsibility.
