Read for my History of Creativity class. Not a bad sum-up of things from 1500 - now. The supplemental material included in my edition--including excerpts from the works referenced throughout the chapters--was nice to read and added a sense that I was actually experiencing something instead of just reading about other people's experiences.
Unless you're reading this for the same class, you won't pick this up and I don't necessarily recommend that you do. These guys aren't historians, and there's no new ground being broken here. But if you have to read it anyway, you could definitely do worse. It's not a hard, boring read. So, good job, text book!
