At the turn of the 21st century, the most valuable commodity in
society is knowledge--particularly new knowledge that may give a
culture, company, or laboratory an adaptive advantage. Knowledge
about the cognitive processes that lead to discovery and invention
can enhance the probability of making valuable new discoveries and
inventions. Such knowledge needs to be made widely available to
ensure that no particular interest group "corners the market" on
techno-scientific creativity. Knowledge can also facilitate the
development of business strategies and social policies based on a
genuine understanding of the creative process. Furthermore, through
an understanding of principles underlying the cognitive processes
related to discovery, educators can utilize these principles to
teach students effective problem-solving strategies as part of
their education as future scientists. This book takes the reader
out onto the cutting edge of research in scientific and
technological thinking. The editors advocate a multiple-method
approach; chapters include detailed case studies of contemporary
and historical practices, experiments, computational simulations,
and innovative theoretical analyses. The editors attempt a
provocative synthesis of this work at the end. In order to achieve
true scientific and technological progress, an understanding of the
process by which species are transforming the world is needed. This
book makes an important step in that direction by leading to
breakthroughs in the understanding of discovery and invention.
