{"product_id":"imagination-peter-murphy-9781433105289","title":"Imagination: Three Models of Imagination in the Age of the Knowledge Economy","description":"Advancement in the arts and sciences is a primary driver of economic production and social policy in post-industrial societies. Imagination steps back and asks 'what advances the arts and sciences?' This book explores the collective, social and global dimension of human imagining-and the ambivalent relationship of social institutions, including universities, schools, economies, media and culture industries, to the collective imagination. Basic discovery requires high levels of creative thinking: Imagination looks at the social conditions that make path-breaking thought possible on a large scale. It examines the role of aesthetic, pictorial, digital, paradoxical and other imaginative styles of thinking, and the times and places in which such styles become socially prominent and a significant force in economic and cultural production. It looks at successful societies as they are approaching their peak, when new ideas are driving them forward.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Murphy,Michael Adrian Peters,Simon Marginson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1433105284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781433105289\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 412\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Peter Murphy","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065565851903,"sku":"9781433105289","price":215.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_915ba233-e8c2-4b30-aec8-c87a77a5334f.jpg?v=1768675815","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/imagination-peter-murphy-9781433105289","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
