The Discovery of DiscoveryUniversity Press of America, 1991 - 812 páginas This anthology on creativity represents a lifetime of reading and study by the late Charles Dewey Tenney, a philosopher who had been a student of Alfred North Whitehead at Harvard.

In all, more than 300 of the world's most creative individuals are included.
