Book Science  Order and Creativity

Download or read book Science Order and Creativity written by David Bohm and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-10-04 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the foremost scientists and thinkers of our time, David Bohm worked alongside Oppenheimer and Einstein. In Science, Order and Creativity he and physicist F. David Peat propose a return to greater creativity and communication in the sciences. They ask for a renewed emphasis on ideas rather than formulae, on the whole rather than fragments, and on meaning rather than mere mechanics. Tracing the history of science from Aristotle to Einstein, from the Pythagorean theorem to quantum mechanics, the authors offer intriguing new insights into how scientific theories come into being, how to eliminate blocks to creativity and how science can lead to a deeper understanding of society, the human condition and the human mind itself. Science, Order and Creativity looks to the future of science with elegance, hope and enthusiasm.

  • Author : Susanne Hecker
  • Publisher : UCL Press
  • Release : 2018-10-15
  • ISBN : 1787352331
  • Pages : 582 pages

Download or read book Citizen Science written by Susanne Hecker and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2018-10-15 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Citizen science, the active participation of the public in scientific research projects, is a rapidly expanding field in open science and open innovation. It provides an integrated model of public knowledge production and engagement with science. As a growing worldwide phenomenon, it is invigorated by evolving new technologies that connect people easily and effectively with the scientific community. Catalysed by citizens’ wishes to be actively involved in scientific processes, as a result of recent societal trends, it also offers contributions to the rise in tertiary education. In addition, citizen science provides a valuable tool for citizens to play a more active role in sustainable development. This book identifies and explains the role of citizen science within innovation in science and society, and as a vibrant and productive science-policy interface. The scope of this volume is global, geared towards identifying solutions and lessons to be applied across science, practice and policy. The chapters consider the role of citizen science in the context of the wider agenda of open science and open innovation, and discuss progress towards responsible research and innovation, two of the most critical aspects of science today.

Book Entrepreneurship for Creative Scientists

Download or read book Entrepreneurship for Creative Scientists written by Dawood Parker and published by . This book was released on 2018-05-23 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being a scientist has changed dramatically in recent times. Through patenting and commercialization, scientists today can develop their work beyond a publication in a learned journal. Indeed, universities and governments are encouraging today's scientists and engineers to break their research out of the laboratory and into the commercial world. However, doing so is complicated and can be daunting for those more used to a research seminar than a boardroom. Start-ups are journeys into uncertainty and entrepreneurs are individuals who are comfortable with uncertainty, thrive on challenges and are prepared to take risks. This book, written by experienced scientists and entrepreneurs, deals with businesses started by scientists based on innovation and sets out to clarify for scientists and engineers the steps necessary to take an idea along the path to commercialization and maximize the potential for success, regardless of the path taken. The difference between a scientist and an entrepreneur is discussed as is the consequence to an enterprise of misunderstanding this difference. The various roles in which an entrepreneur can act are discussed, as are the types of business that a scientist can start. The concept of patent protection is explained as is the process of applying for a patent. The authors take the reader through the need for a business plan and give examples of how such a plan might look. Fundraising is discussed at length with attention focussed on sources of funding and the technique of 'pitching' for funds. Managing a start-up is explored and the function and roles within the management team are discussed.

Book Idea Colliders

    Book Details:
  • Author : Michael John Gorman
  • Publisher : MIT Press
  • Release : 2020-09-15
  • ISBN : 0262359200
  • Pages : 176 pages

Download or read book Idea Colliders written by Michael John Gorman and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative call for the transformation of science museums into "idea colliders" that spark creative collaborations and connections. Today's science museums descend from the Kunst-und Wunderkammern of the Renaissance--collectors' private cabinets of curiosities--through the Crystal Palace exhibition of 1851 to today's "interactive" exhibits promising educational fun. In this book, Michael John Gorman issues a provocative call for the transformation of science museums and science centers from institutions dedicated to the transmission of cultural capital to dynamic "idea colliders" that spark creative collaborations and connections. This new kind of science museum would not stage structured tableaux of science facts but would draw scientists into conversation with artists, designers, policymakers, and the public. Rather than insulating visitors from each other with apps and audio guides, the science museum would consider each visitor a resource, bringing questions, ideas, and experiences from a unique perspective.

Book Creativity  Inc   The Expanded Edition

Download or read book Creativity Inc The Expanded Edition written by Ed Catmull and published by Random House. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The co-founder and longtime president of Pixar updates and expands his 2014 New York Times bestseller on creative leadership, reflecting on the management principles that built Pixar’s singularly successful culture, and on all he learned during the past nine years that allowed Pixar to retain its creative culture while continuing to evolve. “Might be the most thoughtful management book ever.”—Fast Company For nearly thirty years, Pixar has dominated the world of animation, producing such beloved films as the Toy Story trilogy, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Up, and WALL-E, which have gone on to set box-office records and garner eighteen Academy Awards. The joyous storytelling, the inventive plots, the emotional authenticity: In some ways, Pixar movies are an object lesson in what creativity really is. Here, Catmull reveals the ideals and techniques that have made Pixar so widely admired—and so profitable. As a young man, Ed Catmull had a dream: to make the first computer-animated movie. He nurtured that dream as a Ph.D. student, and then forged a partnership with George Lucas that led, indirectly, to his founding Pixar with Steve Jobs and John Lasseter in 1986. Nine years later, Toy Story was released, changing animation forever. The essential ingredient in that movie’s success—and in the twenty-five movies that followed—was the unique environment that Catmull and his colleagues built at Pixar, based on philosophies that protect the creative process and defy convention, such as: • Give a good idea to a mediocre team and they will screw it up. But give a mediocre idea to a great team and they will either fix it or come up with something better. • It’s not the manager’s job to prevent risks. It’s the manager’s job to make it safe for others to take them. • The cost of preventing errors is often far greater than the cost of fixing them. • A company’s communication structure should not mirror its organizational structure. Everybody should be able to talk to anybody. Creativity, Inc. has been significantly expanded to illuminate the continuing development of the unique culture at Pixar. It features a new introduction, two entirely new chapters, four new chapter postscripts, and changes and updates throughout. Pursuing excellence isn’t a one-off assignment but an ongoing, day-in, day-out, full-time job. And Creativity, Inc. explores how it is done.

Book Co creation for Responsible Research and Innovation

Download or read book Co creation for Responsible Research and Innovation written by Alessandro Deserti and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-16 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book summarizes research being pursued within the SISCODE (Society in Innovation and Science through CO-DEsign) project, funded by the EU under the H2020 programme, the goal of which is to set up an analytical, reflective and learning framework to explore the transformations in initiatives and policies emerging from the interaction between citizens and stakeholders. The book provides a critical analysis of the co-design processes activated in 10 co-creation labs addressing societal challenges across Europe. Each lab as a case study of real-life experimentation is described through its journey, starting from the purpose on the ground of the experimentation and the challenge addressed. Specific attention is then drawn on the role of policies and policy maker engagement. Finally, the experimentation is enquired in terms of its output, transformations triggered within the organization and the overall ecosystem, and its outcomes, opening the reasoning towards the lessons learnt and reflections that the entire co-creation journey brought.

Book Artificial Intelligence  Co Creation and Creativity

Download or read book Artificial Intelligence Co Creation and Creativity written by Francisco Tigre Moura and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-01 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artificial intelligence (AI) has deeply impacted our understanding of creativity and the human ability to generate creative outputs. New applications for creative tasks are rapidly evolving, and new tools are constantly being developed with much greater optimal capabilities. Importantly, the success of implementing such tools for creative tasks is still heavily dependent on human supervision and input. Therefore, it is vital to understand and critically reflect on the nature of co-creative processes between humans and AI. This book addresses such issues and provides insights into how humans can augment their capabilities for generating creative and innovative outputs by successfully co-creating with AI. The book is intentionally divided into three main parts to allow for a comprehensive and holistic perspective on human and AI co-creation for creative tasks. The sections are divided as follows: Part 1: “Principles of AI and Creativity”, Part 2: “Critical Issues on Artificial Co-Creation”, and Part 3: “Industry-Specific Discussions”. Consequently, the book provides a holistic insight on the topic, covering various issues and perspectives and enabling an accessible read to a broad audience. For example, chapters cover examples across different industry sectors, including music, arts, science, and management. Furthermore, the book covers critical questions involving copyrights, ethical concerns, relationship with algorithms, and context-based issues. Only by critically reflecting on the intrinsic issues of AI and learning how to work with it effectively for creative purposes will we be able to benefit from its full potential to augment human creative abilities in an appropriate manner. This novel, edited collection is an essential read for scholars working on the intersection of AI, creativity, arts, and management.

Book excerpt: My dreams, showed me a book, I was to write; with, just three chapter headings. A dream it is wise to pay attention to, as I am shown future events, or given important messages. During early morning, 'connecting' time, I had declared aloud, my heartfelt intention, to partner with Life, also, that whichever beings, were waiting, to work through me, I was ready! The dreams followed soon after. So, I offer a chronicle of my journey through this life; particularly, from strangled expression to flow of words and ideas, from mistrust, a victim disconnected from, my Heart, alive now, to overflowing Love, Trust, compassion & acknowledgement of others! Likewise, deeply one with, Earth & Water, - Air, Sun-Light, Fire & Cosmos, deeply rooted in the ground of my embodied Being. I stay open in undefended Ease of expression, Creative inspiration, & Magical synchrony. I am awed by geometrical symmetry, yet immense Volcanic power, explosiveness too, the wondrous Mystery of Life's ever-changing Expression. “Who Are We”?... “What Are We”? -as Life propels us beyond imagined limits, giving rise to such Questions as “Who's creating, the Reality I am currently experiencing? “Can I wholly believe, in my potential total Limitlessness?” Thanks be to Life for every step of this journey.
