This quite remarkable collection of essays on the productive imagination offers a rich repast well deserving to be savored in multiple sittings. The essays demonstrate both the complexity and diversity of the topic and offer productive efforts themselves to deepen and extend the subject. Kudos to Saulius Geniusas as editor for gathering such a thought-provoking group of authors.
