Description: This is a used mass-market paperback copy of a 1968 publication entitled: Synectics: The Development of Creativity by William J. J. Gordon. The text under the title on the cover reads: "An exciting new method for developing creative solutions to the problems of business, science, the arts, and education." The text on the back cover reads: "This book is the exciting result of some fifteen years of experimentation in training creative capacity. It not only identifies the psychological processes involved in creativity but also explores the methods by which creative potential in individuas and groups can be stimulted and directed to the solution of specific problems. Synectics theory, which holds that creative efficiency in people can be markedly increased if they understand the psychological process by which they operate, is effectively demonstrated in dozens of case studies of groups in actual problem-solving sessions. With broad implications for the sciences, the arts, and education, Synectics has proven particularly meaningful and provocative to businessmen and executives whose livelihood depends on the development of new ideas." This book has been stored in a smoke-free environment for the past 40 years at least and is in very good condition. The exterior covers show signs of wear consistent with age and shelf life. The front cover bottom-right corner shows some very minor creasing. Some discoloration from light damage is evident on the page edges. The interior pages are all intact and clean, and the binding is tight. See photos for details. Page count: ca 180 pages Trim size: 4" x 7"
