He offers the most comprehensive perspective yet on how science came to be possible in our species and on the important role of psychological forces in an individual's development of scientific interest, talent, and creativity. Without a psychological perspective, Feist argues, we cannot fully understand the development of scientific thinking or scientific genius."--Jacket.}, recid = {351989}, pages = {1 online resource (xix, 316 p.) :}, address = {New Haven :}, year = {2006}, }
