the description:
This book is about getting ideas and a "longer distance" - making them work. David Jones, best known for his column in Daedalus, tells many stories about creators and their creativity, including his fictional contributions to mainstream science such as boundless bikes and chemical parks in space. His theory of creativity gives each of us a generator of random thoughts, observer, and observer viewer. Jones applies his theory to a wide range of strange scientific experiments that he conducted on serious scientific papers, to challenge printed exhibitions and presentations for television audiences. He even suggests new ones, not yet tried!
Creativity is essential for science such as curiosity, physical intuition, and intelligent deduction from well-planned experiences. But, says Jones, ingenuity is highly uncertain. Even for most inventors, about 80 percent of the ideas fail. It can help banter, as well as a lot of random data. Jones has a lot of smart advice that will help spark this crazy special thought crazy in the first place and will encourage you to move forward with it. Neither thick nor demanding, aha! The moment is immersion, authorship and seriousness scientifically. However, he's written lightly and asks many ridiculous questions. As Jones shows, it can often be pushed to take a seriously ridiculous idea.
