Reviews

Dr. Rothenberg has published another groundbreaking work, this time reporting on an empirical study of Nobel laureates from the US and Europe. I believe that readers of Albert Rothenberg's new book will come away greatly enriched by the author's own lifelong, creative synthesis. --Ronald W. Pies, Psychiatric Times Rothenberg tackles his challenging task as systematically as possible. Although not every reader will be able to understand, let alone judge, the technical summaries of how the Nobel laureates deployed sep-con, homospatial, and janus processes to arrive at their creative insights, Rothenbergs book is an inspiring reading experience for any passionate researcher. Moreover, his findings suggest we extract pedagogical lessons by developing methods and circumstances that stimulate creative thinking in education. --Charles Forceville, Metaphor and Symbol Based upon interviews with Nobel Prize-winning scientists and other sources, Rothenberg brings much insight to the creative method. Whether one agrees with Rothenberg's underlying premise or not, the book is a valuable addition to the field. -- Choice
