… Impressive. I don’t know of any other study that looks at creativity-in-the-process-of-change.” – Howard Gardner, Harvard University
“This investigation of creative activities in a third world community demonstrates the importance of expanding our sights for studying what we have traditionally thought of as a quintessentially western endeavor. By broadening the study of innovation and creativity we also discover new understanding of how we as human beings create ourselves… This scholarly book is a pleasure to read.” – Vera John-Steiner, University of New Mexico
“[The book] is a pleasure to read … It will be of interest to anthropologists and … many readers interested in weaving and creativity in the weaving process … [as well as] developmental psychology.” – Frank Cancian, University of California, Irvine
“Remarkable research project … outstanding book … Patricia Greenfield’s pathbreaking book is a clear-headed model of multiple-disciplinary research at its very best.” – Evon Z. Vogt, Harvard University
"Your beautiful book on weaving and on bringing the generations together were such an uplift! It is superb and I love the message and the writing…what a wonderful publication!“ – T. Berry Brazelton, M.D., Child Deveopment Unit, Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School
"The book 'Weaving generations together' is a most attractive outcome (both esthetically and intellectually) of another of Patricia Greenfield's innovative lines of research, namely the impact of socio-historical change on learning processes and cognitive development. While there have been some major and interesting longitudinal studies in developmental and life-span psychology, there has been, to my knowledge, no similar enterprise in (cross-)cultural psychology…The findings are remarkable, and combine a most sophisticated quantitative analysis with close attention to cultural validity“ – Dr. Pierre Dasen, University of Geneva
