COP3 : book - Cambridge handbook to creativity

Cambridge handbook to creativity 

Kaufman, J. C. and Sternberg, R. J. 2010. The Cambridge handbook of creativity. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.

This book has been by far the best, most useful book in terms of research. I was struggling to find theorists into creativity, I had many scientists, psychologists and authors of books, but no theorists which was troubling me as I need theorist for my essay. This book has introduced me to many theories and theorists of creativity. I now feel more comfortable about my essay and feel I have gained much more information and knowledge into my subject area.

- Runco (2008)
