Annotation: Raina uses the cases study method as a tool for examining the life work of a man who has devoted his life to creativity studies. Ellis Paul Torrance's methods could in fact be disseminated in every classroom the world over. This work provides a fine perspective from which to appreciate the nature of Torrance's creativity and evolution of some of his theoretical and empirical creative endeavors. Raina remains true to the goal of contributing to the scientific understanding of creativity and passion. In order to remain true, Raina approaches his subject with empathy and respect, noting that certain aspects of the theorist's sensitivity and achievement have not received sufficient attention. The Creativity Passion helps creativity researchers to understand this creative person at work. Invoking Torrance's passion for creativity studies, this book will be an inspiration to readers.
