Intuition: The Inside Story (Creating the North American Landscape

by Robbie E. Davis-Floyd (Editor), P. Sven Arvidson (Editor)

Science could never have proceeded without the creativity of intuition--yet intuition is poorly understood and poorly studied. In The Inside Story, scholars explore the nature of intuition and its practical place in the social and behavioral sciences and the arts. These contributors present the latest theoretical developments and research and provide every day examples of intuition from the lab and field. They discuss the nature and experience of intuition from the perspectives of anthropology, philosophy, physics, engineering, psychology, medicine and midwifery.

Contributors Marcie Boucouvalas, Guy Burneko, Brenda J. Dunne, Jeremy Hayward, Charles Laughlin, Evelyn Monsay, Anne Pineault, Luci Roncalli and Joe Sheridan.
