Winner of the 2023 Nautilus Book Award in the category of Animals & Nature The surprising, fascinating, and remarkable ways that animals use creativity to thrive in their habitats Most of us view animals through a very narrow lens, seeing only bits and pieces of beings that seem mostly peripheral to our lives. However, whether animals are building a shelter, seducing a mate, or inventing a new game, animals’ creative choices affect their social, cultural, and environmental worlds. The Creative Lives of Animals offers readers intimate glimpses of creativity in the lives of animals, from elephants to alligators to ants. Drawing on a growing body of scientific research, Carol Gigliotti unpacks examples of creativity demonstrated by animals through the lens of the creative process, an important component of creative behavior, and offers new thinking on animal intelligence, emotion, and self-awareness. With examples of the elaborate dams built by beavers or the lavishly decorated bowers of bowerbirds, Gigliotti provides a new perspective on animals as agents in their own lives, as valuable contributors to their world and ours, and as guides in understanding how creativity may contribute to conserving the natural world. Presenting a powerful argument for the importance of recognizing animals as individuals and as creators of a healthy, biodiverse world, this book offers insights into both the established and emerging questions about the creativity of animals.

CONQUER CREATIVE WRITING BOOK 5 consists of units covering four areas, all of which aim to strengthen a student’s writing ability. It provides students with situations outside their normal classroom learning, inviting them to stretch their imagination and express their thoughts through writing, thus, enabling them to enjoy and be creative in writing. In this book, students will learn to: write descriptive, narrative, expository and imaginative compositions; differentiate and organize ideas using the methods of classification, comparison and contrast, sequencing and cause and effect; relate to a given situation and its possible outcomes; and think and write creatively. Students will find the exercises interesting and the open-ended questions challenging. They are expected to do research on their own for exercises that require background knowledge. They can do so using the Internet or encyclopedia. It is our desire that students who have completed this series will find themselves equipped to discuss issues beyond their years.

Brings together the research programs and findings of the twenty-four psychological scientists most cited in major textbooks on creativity.

While speculation has always been crucial to biography, it has often been neglected, denied or misunderstood. This edited collection brings together a group of international biographers to discuss how, and why, each uses speculation in their work; whether this is to conceptualise a project in its early stages, work with scanty or deliberately deceptive sources, or address issues associated with shy or stubborn subjects. After defining the role of speculation in biography, the volume offers a series of work-in-progress case studies that discuss the challenges biographers encounter and address in their work. In addition to defining the ‘speculative spectrum’ within the biographical endeavour, the collection offers a lexicon of new terms to describe different types of biographical speculation, and more deeply engage with the dynamic interplay between research, subjectivity and that which Natalie Zemon Davis dubbed ‘informed imagination’. By mapping the field of speculative biography, the collection demonstrates that speculation is not only innate to biographical practice but also key to rendering the complex mystery of biographical subjects, be they human, animal or even metaphysical.

Creative Writing Analysis is a guide to solving creative writing problems; acting as a practical introduction to progressing a creative writing project as well as an exploration of the many ways in which creative writing can be understood. Through chapters on topics including writing methods, textual analysis, practice-led research, interdisciplinarity, and cultural contexts, this book explores the various forms of analysis that can be employed. Graeme Harper provides information to assist in creative decision making, and as a means for discussing approaches and outcomes in creative writing. The book also includes an Afterword by Dianne Donnelly, whose work in Creative Writing Studies has been widely recognized as a contribution to the critical examination of creative writing. Whether you are a creative writer seeking to improve your work or you are simply interested in analysing the practice and outcomes of others doing creative writing, Creative Writing Analysis offers strategies to assist students and practitioners of creative writing and literary studies.
