My students give Austin's book high marks
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
For more than ten years I taught a research design course to graduate students at Utah State University, and to help them understand how scientists create hypotheses I made Austin's (an nationally awarded researcher) "Chase, Chance, & Creativity" assigned reading, along with other books and journal articles on hypothesis creation. Consistently they reported that his book helped them most and is on par with good novels in being hard to put down. As for me, I believe "C,C, & C" will help people in all fields (artists, inventors, entrepreneurs,. . .) be more creative. I'll go so far to say to its publisher that it'll be a service to civilization to keep it in print forever.
