Fifty of the world's most creative people share their stories,
their inspirations, and their unique takes on science and
education, all inspired by the Exploratorium science museum. What
do music visionary Brian Eno, kinetic sculptor Theo Jansen, science
writer Mary Roach, Mythbuster Adam Savage, and Pulitzer-winning
journalist Thomas Friedman have in common? They are all
game-changers: scientists, artists, entertainers, and activists who
revolutionized their fields with bold new perspectives and
approaches--and they all had transformative, course-setting
experiences at the Exploratorium. Join them and 45 more brilliant
thinkers and doers in a wonderfully playful, insightful, and
sometimes incredibly moving journey to see how you, too, can
harness your powers of observation, inquiry, and engagement to be
the change you want to see in the world--regardless of who you are
or what you do. Interviewees and Subjects Include: Oscar-Winning
Sound Designer Walter Murch on observation Laurie Anderson on art
as a way of knowing Memory Expert Elizabeth Loftus on how we learn
Oliver Sacks on perception Mary Roach on how she learned to ask the
right questions Adam Savage on the fun of finding things out Mickey
Hart on the art of playing to learn, and learning to play
California Governor Gavin Newsom on the importance of science
Community activist Randy Carter on finding joy in the worst of
places . . . and dozens more interviews, insights, and activities
suggested by artists, scientists, poets, and politicians, in a book
that's guaranteed to make you a more creative person. And maybe
just change the world.
