Jane Henry brings these eminent authors together to introduce to the reader essential works on cognition, creativity, style, new approaches to learning, development and sustainability--all written at an accessible and engaging level. The book has a distinctly international flavor. While giving a clear conceptual overview and perspective for the topics discussed, it also makes clear their practical implications.
