"A fascinating tale of creativity in China’s education system with significant implications for America."


Yong Zhao, Foundation Distinguished Professor, University of Kansas 

"Carol Mullen’s new book takes the reader on a literary journey through an educational culture that is as geographically distant as it is ideologically different. As seen through the research eyes of an American educator, the book frames a discussion of creativity via a comparative analysis. And, through cultural symbolism, the book provides an individual’s insight into the Chinese educational system."


Rosemary Papa, Del and Jewell Lewis Endowed Chair, Learning Centered Leadership, Northern Arizona University

"Mullen has written a very important book examining the tension between the tight hold of rote learning and testing in China and the attempt to introduce creativity in the schools. Though the rote learning approach to teaching and learning can get in the way of serious attempts at creativity, Mullen offers an array of examples in which educators seem open to ideas that encourage critical thinking, student-centered, and activity-based learning."

"This book provides a very informative text in a style that is very readable and easily understood by ‘non-statisticians’." - Dr David Pritchard
"I would particularly recommend this text to postgraduate students, but also to anyone who is looking for a way into understanding multivariate statistics."- Alice Jones in The Psychologist
"The authors have done an excellent job, adding two new chapters and creating medical examples to supplement this new edition. In common with the earlier chapters, these are very nicely structured and easy to follow. The new material on using SPSS syntax is extremely useful and is the only source that I know of that provides the reader with this information."- David Giles, Department of Psychology, University of Winchester, UK
"The straightforward approach found in this book, as well as the absence of unnecessary formulas to explain the use of an analysis, will appeal to the reader who is looking for an attainable and consistent answer to a practical issue." - Dennis W.T. Nilsen, Professor of Medicine, University of Bergen, Norway
"This book manages to give a sound statistical account while giving a wealth of useful advice to the researcher wishing to put the technique into practice." - David Clark-Carter, Professor of Psychological Research Methods, Staffordshire University, UK

From the reviews:“The aim of the volume is explicitly stated as putting ››works of art and theories of science ›to work‹ in a shared enterprise of thinking representation beyond mimesis and convention‹‹ … . the collection take their inspiration from the theory of fiction and try to apply these inspirations to the study of scientific models. … the essays all make interesting and state-of-the-art contributions to their respective topics.” (Tobias Klauk, Journal of Literary Theory, August, 2011)“The aim of the book is to see what might be achieved by bringing the two impasse-stricken subjects together. … The collection … succeeds in displaying a variety of ways in which aesthetics can be applied to problems of representation in the philosophy of science. … this book will be a valuable point of reference.” (Clive Cazeaux, British Journal of Aesthetics, Vol. 52 (2), April, 2012)“The book … is a great example of interdisciplinary collaborative work, bringing together contributions by scholars of science and of art, around the topic of representation. … The result is a high-standard, remarkably edited book. … this rich and heterogeneous book clearly achieves the goal of showing the fruitfulness of an interdisciplinary approach to art and science … .” (Marion Vorms, Theoria, Vol. 75, 2012)

'Finally, a truly comprehensive, global, and conceptually-rich account of the geography of creativity! Methodical, interrogative, accessibly written, logically organised, definitive –Hawkins surveys an immense and diverse field of scholarship on creative geographies, weaving into the mix her own intrepid and ideosyncratic research. Combining critical conceptual insight with fine ethnographic texture (and usefully illustrated with lots of case study 'boxes'),　Creativity is essential reading for students and researchers across the social sciences and humanities. Demystifying the rhetoric surrounding creativity, but also brimming with hope for its mercurial, emotional and embodied qualities, this is a book that puts creativity firmly in its place.'
Chris Gibson, Professor of Human Geography, Australian Centre for Cultural Environmental Research, University of Wollongong, Australia

"Hawkins offers a compelling, multi-faceted critical engagement with the concept of creativity that artfully synthesizes foundational and cutting-edge research in intellectually inspiring ways.　 Accessible and readable, this book uses astute description, careful analysis, and imaginative examples to provide a comprehensive introduction to the geographies of creativity."
Alison Bain, Associate Professor, Department of Geography, York University, Canada
