Creating Things That Matter is David’s book that shares a path to pioneering creation that draws from aesthetic practice, an artistic path of scientific discovery, and a scientific path of artistic inquiry, the kind of creative practice shared by those who create things that sustainably last. David highlights leading creators today in the arts and sciences who are changing how we think and live in ways that contribute to sustainability of the human condition. His book shows how mindful making in collaborative maker settings can bring this way of creating into all of our lives. Creating Things That Matter won a national book award — the 2018 Nautilus Book Award (Silver Prize).
