Description:
New York: The Macmillan Company, 1965. 4th Printing. Hardcover. Very Good . 4th Printing. Hardcover. Bound in quarter blue buckram with black cloth boards. Copper foil lettering on the spine. The Act of Creation begins where this view ceases to be true. Koestler affirms that all creatures have the capacity for creative activity, frequently suppressed by the automatic routines of thought and behavior that dominate their lives. The study of psychology has offered little in the way of an explanation of the creative process, and Koestler suggests that we are at our most creative when rational thought is suspended - for example in dreams and trance-like states. Then the mind is capable of receiving inspiration and insight.Taking humor as his starting point, Koestler examines what he terms 'bisociative' thinking - the creative leap made by the mind that gives rise to new and startling perceptions and glimpses of reality. From here he assesses the workings of the mind of the scientific or artistic… Read More

Description:
Boulder, CO: Westview Press, 1994. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Fine. Illustrated. The author's model orients this community in the vortex of contemporary forces, pointing up, for example, the need for face-to-face interaction among residents versus the larger society's demand for electronic communication. With increasing conflicts between the culture of rural communities and that of the outside world occurring, small towns all over the United States are losing their businesses, their doctors, and their sense of community. Yet the town described in this study is thriving. Against All Odds identifies pride, determination, and a sense of belonging that must be nurtured and the local organization that binds all of these factors together in order to keep a small town alive in the face of powerful disruptive forces. Not since Vidich and Bensman's landmark Small Town in Mass Society has such a thoughtful examination of a contemporary rural community been available. Burgundy cloth with… Read More

Bergen / Oslo / Tromso: Universitetsforlaget, 1976. 2nd Edition. paperback. Very Good . 6x1x8. 2nd Edition. Paperback. Green and blue illustrated cover. This book reports the result of a project March and Olsen conducted on decision-making in educational organizations. The main purpose of the project is “an attempt to understand how organizations deal with ambiguity — goals that are unclear, technologies that are imperfectly understood, histories that are difficult to interpret, and participants who wander in and out” (p. 8). Such situations, called “organized anarchies”, are becoming more and more common in the increasingly complex world. 408pp.<br><br>CONDITION: Covers are mildly rubbed. Previous owner mark on front flyleaf. Pages are crisp and clean. Binding and text block are sound. Full refund if not satisfied.
