Reviews

""The authors investigate ""the temporal and historical aspects of magination by proposing a life course perspective,"" and they ""examine imagination as it takes place in specific domains of activity or social ettings"" (209). Those domains or settings are education, theater, and usic. These richly represent relevant knowledge and conjecture. For anyone interested in these topics from a sociocultural perspective, this book is the place to go."" -- Evolutionary Studies in Imaginative Culture
