Abstract

A key feature of this book will be the analysis of the creativity of each of the 31 inventions chosen for analysis. This means that our focus is very much on the creativity of the product itself, as distinct from the personal qualities, thinking processes or environmental factors that also affect creativity.

Notes

  1. 1.

    I will generally use the word “product” or “artefact” in this book to mean the result of any creative, problem-solving process. This does not mean that the result can only be a tangible thing.
