The Runaway Species: How Human Creativity Remakes the World Taschenbuch – Illustriert, 19. Juni 2018
Kaufoptionen und Plus-Produkte
The Runaway Species is a deep dive into the creative mind, a celebration of the human spirit, and a vision of how we can improve our future by understanding and embracing our ability to innovate. David Eagleman and Anthony Brandt seek to answer the question: what lies at the heart of humanity’s ability—and drive—to create?
Our ability to remake our world is unique among all living things. But where does our creativity come from, how does it work, and how can we harness it to improve our lives, schools, businesses, and institutions?
Eagleman and Brandt examine hundreds of examples of human creativity through dramatic storytelling and stunning images in this beautiful, full–color volume. By drawing out what creative acts have in common and viewing them through the lens of cutting–edge neuroscience, they uncover the essential elements of this critical human ability, and encourage a more creative future for all of us.
“The Runaway Species approach[es] creativity scientifically but sensitively, feeling its roots without pulling them out.” —The Economist

Pressestimmen
—The Wall Street Journal
“The Runaway Species approach[es] creativity scientifically but sensitively, feeling its roots without pulling them out.”
—The Economist
“Unravels the interplay of art, neuroscience and evolution, while celebrating the special thing that is human innovation.”
—Entrepreneur
“An intriguing and riveting mélange of perspectives that successfully delineates what creativity and innovation are about. It is an outstanding and inspirational volume that will have a broad and global appeal. It will categorically transport the reader into the past and the future fusing them together as one scientific structure, constituting an electrifying and enlightening scholarly reading.”
—The Inquisitive Mind
“It’s a belter of a book for anyone with an interest in neuroscience, creativity or education . . . Understanding ourselves and our creativity is a journey that also helps us to understand what makes us human. The Runaway Species not only makes the complex readable, but also opens a fascinating world that exists between predictability and surprise.”
—Business Hitchhiker
“Which inventions have had the most impact—and why? What can they teach us about game–changing innovation? And how will science and technology revolutionize our lives next? The rest of The Runaway Species sheds light on these issues . . . bolstered by delightful visuals.”
—Harvard Business Review
“Readers familiar with David Eagleman’s writing will encounter the clever analogies that typify his style. Co–author Anthony Brandt, a professor at Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music, adds rich texture and scope to their speculations. It is not obvious what NASA and Picasso have in common. Nor what flamboyant hairstyles, bicycles, or stadium designs share. But the answers seem obvious once the links are pointed out.”
—Richard E. Cytowic, New York Journal of Books
“With the pleasing pace of an extended essay, the book offers surprises and insights at every turn, and the authors argue convincingly that basic strategies inform most creative behavior. . . Essential—and highly pleasurable—reading for anyone who cares about ideas and innovation.”
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Art and science converge in this beautiful collaboration . . . Divided into three parts, this inquiry covers a complicated set of connected topics in an engaging and surprisingly accessible way . . . Packed with vivid images, countless examples, and fun facts that will leave readers eager to discuss it with friends, this is a refreshing and thought–provoking book that captures both the wonder of science and the beauty of the human spirit.”
—Booklist
“A nice and highly readable introduction for laypersons to human creativity . . . The book is chock full of well–chosen and interesting illustrations that greatly enhance the value of the narrative . . . This book has many positive features. First, writing a successful trade book on creativity is hard to do well. Some of the books tend to be too scholarly; others are just pop psychology with no theoretical or empirical basis . . . This book is both scientifically strong and accessible to the public. Second, the book is highly readable. It never gets bogged down in jargon and is lavishly illustrated to show how its concepts can be understood in concrete, practical terms. The book is never boring . . . The Runaway Species is an engaging and worthwhile book. We recommend it with enthusiasm to those interested in learning about creativity and how it has impacted and can impact society and its development.”
—Robert J. Sternberg, The American Journal of Psychiatry

- Bewertet in Deutschland am 14. Februar 2018The authors explain the principles behind creativity with - literally- colourful examples, and stress the importance of training creativity from a young age to aid the development of a wonderful future. A highly interesting and enjoyable book.
- Bewertet in Deutschland am 22. Januar 2018The simple concepts written about are on point and interesting. The author weaves science and art and the book is a collection of stories and examples. Its a very easy read. What it doesn't do is get much into the neuroscience or explaining why or how behind the 'what' that it proposes. The book is inspiring for business people, artists, scientists. It's more a coffee table book, than a theoretical or scientific book to cite.
- Bewertet in Deutschland am 29. Mai 2019The book is fine written and has a lot of interesting facts about human inventions and new ideas. Unfortunately there is too less written about any mechanisms that underline this processes in the brain. If you read other books from this author I assume you will be disappointed, but all in all a good read.

Mayank MishraBewertet in Indien am 25. November 20205,0 von 5 Sternen Best book in creativity
David and the other author has nailed it. These kind of books are written only for persons with PhDs. I am really glad I read this book. The books talks about how mind is creative with beautiful illustrations of artists and other innovations. Not even a single instant book was boring. read it in several sittings as so much content is there to absorb. want to thank the authors for writing such a DEEP book. The neural networks on the brain is the most powerful thing of the universe.

Dr Ali BinazirBewertet in den USA am30. Oktober 20175,0 von 5 Sternen "Bend it, break it, blend it": An inspiring, thought-provoking highlight reel of human creativity
WHO IT'S FOR: Scientists, writers, inventors, artists, musicians, and eternally curious folks who could use an extra shot of creativity
WHAT I LIKE ABOUT IT: How do exceptionally creative people -- like Leonardo da Vinci, Bach, Chopin, Einstein, Edison, Picasso, Steve Jobs -- come up with and execute their ideas? What makes the book special are vignettes of the other 200+ artists, scientists, composers and engineers you *haven’t* heard of yet, and all the cool ideas they’ve come up with as they “bend, break and blend” old ideas to create new ones. The book’s fluid writing style and 200 illustrations make for fun, fast reading.
Some essential new concepts I learned:
• “Skeuomorphs” are “features that imitate the design of what has come before.” Nothing is 100% new.
• Every emerging billion-dollar industry is already 10 yrs old
• To come up with great ideas, embrace error so you can proliferate lots of options
• The 20% Rule: the brain seems to prefer visual stimulus of 20% complexity
• The greatest creators (eg Picasso, Edison) were just insanely prolific. The more stuff you make, the more likely that some of it will be great.
• Let young minds embrace the arts: “This is because the arts, due to their overtness, are the most accessible way to teach the basic tools of innovation.”
WHAT IT’S NOT: Although it can teach you much about the process of innovation, this book’s not a creativity how-to book per se. For that, I recommend Edward de Bono’s classic Lateral Thinking: Creativity Step by Step.
WHY YOU SHOULD READ IT: The dozens of fascinating stories of perseverance, ingenuity, and breakthrough – e.g. self-healing concrete, carbon-fiber violins, or James Dyson’s 5,127 vacuum prototypes (!) – demystify innovation, humanize it, and just might catalyze a world-changing story of your own.
