The Creative Spark: How Imagination Made Humans Exceptional

byAgustín Fuentes

Agustín Fuentes' The Creative Spark investigates how imagination made humans exceptional, grounding a large subject in the people and choices that shaped it. Using scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies, The Creative Spark moves between close observation and a wider account of the systems surrounding its subject. By placing The Creative Spark within history and psychology, the book reveals why its central tensions extend well beyond one person, place, or moment. Readers come away with both the essential context and a sharper sense of how how imagination made humans exceptional continues to shape the present.
