About This Item
New Brunswick / Oxford: Transaction Books, 1987. First Edition. hardcover. Fine/Fine. 6x1x9. First Edition. Hardcover. Bound in blue cloth with silver foil text on the spine. Policymaking, Communication, and Social Learning presents Sir Geoffrey Vickers's seminal essays on policymaking and related issues facing modern Western culture. These essays, many of them published here for the first time, illustrate the range of Sir Geoffrey's thought, and also articulate certain recurrent themes. He portrays a unique view of policymaking, building on his notion of "appreciation" and focusing on the processes of reflection and communication in setting and changing the tacit norms which govern our conduct. These themes culminate in his perception of the emerging challenges facing the professions, and in what he sees as the educational requirements implied by these challenges. xiv 202pp. Black and white pattern glossy dustjacket with yellow border and field with black text. black text in white field on the spine.<br><br>CONDITION: Covers have very light shelf wear. Pages are crisp and clean. Binding and text block are tight. Dustjacket has light rubbing. Full refund if not satisfied.
