"This book is about the arts, but its approach is broad enough for us to consider how we might apply artistic thinking and reflection to other subjects in our lives. The concept of creativity, the understanding of symbolism, the search for meaning--these are all topics that arise from serious attention to the arts, but that also have extensive application in other of life's experiences. Harold Popp...has done us all a great favor with this book and its lessons." --Robert Glidden, President Emeritus, Ohio University.
