Biographer Walter Isaacson has chronicled the lives of a diverse group of Americans, among them Benjamin Franklin, Albert Einstein and, most recently, Steve Jobs. But what links them, and makes them of interest to Isaacson, is their creativity.
That will provide the underlying theme for Isaacson’s two lectures to open the 2013 season of the Ringling College Library Association’s Town Hall Lecture Series on Tuesday.
“I’d like to talk about creativity and how I’ve seen it in the various people I’ve written about,” said Isaacson, who in addition to being a best-selling biographer is president and CEO of the Aspen Institute, an educational and policy studies institute in Washington, D.C.
