ISBN: 1567501737 ISBN-13: 9781567501735 Publisher: Praeger OUR PRICE: $54.45 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: January 1995 Annotation: "Why Fly? is without argument, an important contribution to the body of theoretical literature on creativity. What makes this work unique, however, is that it's content and focus also enable it to stand on the shelf along side books on counseling/self help, curriculum development, school administration, business, and leadership. In short, Dr. Torrance has successfully produced a book with nearly universal appeal and application possibilities." - Roeper Review ." . .For readers who are well-versed in Torrance's major ideas and themes, the book will serve as a convenient reference resource and probably as a source of some previously undiscovered pieces. For new explorers into the creativity literature, it will provide helpful "grounding" in the work of a major figure in the field and foundation for new questions and directions."
