  • In "More Ways than One," Professor Cropley offers a scholarly—but highly pragmatic—view of creativity and its cultivation. Cropley reviews and evaluates a great deal of research, and carefully explores the numerous practical implications of that work. The research spans 50 years, and includes Cropley's own work—and he has been producing sound contributions on this topic since the 1960s. The topics in "More Ways than One" are all relevant to education, but not limited to conventional academic concerns. Cropley covers giftedness, educational equality, and play, for example, but also offers discussions of creativity and health, "blocks within society," and the value of creativity for society. This monograph is also good reading in that Cropley presents the research and his views in a variety of ways: he reviews and evaluates research; he shares personal experiences and anecdotes; he presents case studies; and here and there he offers concepts which are quite provocative as well as useful.

Techniques and approaches for fostering venturesome and inventive thinking in the classroom are suggested. It is also important, and perhaps especially important for creativity, that teachers become explicitly aware of the emotional and motivational basis of learning and thinking so that they do not concentrate only on its cognitive aspects. Consequently, it is hoped that the book will encourage a fuller understanding of the broad range of classroom factors that affect both conventional and creative thinking.
