Content:
Imagination is thought to be the province of childhood-the stuff of free play and unrestrained ideas. Then comes the dull routine of adulthood, stifling creativity. In fact, the opposite is true. Andrew Shtulman shows that imagination is not inherited at birth, nor does it diminish with age. It grows as we do, through education and reflection

We typically believe that imagination is natural to the free play and unrestrained vistas of childhood only to be dulled by the deadening routines and stifling regimentation of the adult world. In Learning to Imagine, Andrew Shtulman reveals that the opposite is true. Imagination is not something that we inherit at birth, only to diminish with age. Instead, it is something we develop as we grow through education and experience"--
