Exploring the Nature of Creativity provides an introduction to creativity for the curious, the uninitiated, the students of beginning classes, and all other interested persons beginning their inquiry into the field of creativity research. Conversational knowledge is not easily gleaned from formal research writing and academic formats—this text simplifies and condenses the research available in the field so that the average freshman student will feel comfortable in exploring it further.

Creativity is a growing field of study, and there are many myths associated with it. Exploring the Nature of Creativity separates the implicit from the explicit, the fiction from the facts.
