Summary
"Imagination is commonly thought to be the special province of children. 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"-- Provided by publisher.
