New book: ‘Artscience,’ plus related works
Written on January 2, 2008
Spotted at the bookstore: Artscience: Creativity in the Post-Google Generation by Dave Edwards. “David Edwards describes how contemporary creators achieve breakthroughs in the arts and sciences by developing their ideas in an intermediate zone of human creativity where neither art nor science is easily defined.”
