Professor Terry Flew
Queensland University of Technology Full, fresh and fun, but also hard work - absorbing, detailed and ambitious. That's the creative industries, and also this book. It suits what it studies, showing how human creativity, meaningfulness and experience are organised at industrial scale. Aimed squarely at those who will be the workforce and wealth-creators of the future, this is the go-to guide for understanding a complex and varied market.
