Book excerpt: ALFRED KORZYBSKI (1879-1950), a pioneering giant in the intellectual world over three decades, was a forerunner in emphasizing many of the issues only now receiving wide recognition (for example, psychological consequences of the "new" physics, impact of neuro-linguistic & neuro-semantic terminology & awareness, psychosomatic non-separation, the importance of the structure of language in skewing our perceptions & communications, the powerful life implications of paradigm shifts, etc.). These COLLECTED WRITINGS, brought together for the first time, photographed from the originals where feasible, reveal the evolution of his work since its beginnings in 1920. They show the process that led from his "Manhood of Humanity" (1921) to "Science & Sanity; An Introduction to Non-Aristotelian Systems & General Semantics" (1933), for which he is most widely known. The "Supplementaries" included in the collection pointedly show that after the climactic publication of "Science & Sanity," in another sense his work was just beginning. Korzybski synthesized the new trends into a system with methods through which the emerging outlooks could be learned & taught, calling his methodology "General Semantics." An indispensable "working edition" & reference guide for all those who wish to study the development not only of Korzybski's work, but also the impact of major intellectual changes in our culture during the first half of this century. Experiencing them through these pages will shed new light on present concerns. No one--scholar, student, or layman-- who is interested in how humans size up & organize their worlds, will want to be without this unfolding vision of the process of system-building.

Download or read book Selected Writings - Margaret Preston written by Margaret Preston and published by ETT Imprint. This book was released on 2018-10-01 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Never shy of voicing an opinion, artist Margaret Preston launched into print on a variety of subjects, from flower arranging and furnishing a bedroom, to Aboriginal art and design, Pokerwork and Wood-blocking. Selected from the pages of Australia's journals by Elizabeth Butel, this collection addresses Preston's recurring preoccupations - "modern" art, an Australian national art and the craft of art-making. "The natural enemy of the dull" - Preston's style is infused with paradox, retaining its freshness through her very direct, uncompromising attack and illustrated with examples of her woodcuts.

Download or read book The New Era of The Booming 1920s And Its Aftermath written by George A. Schade Jr. and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2019-08-23 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Schade is a meticulous researcher. Throughout this book, Schade brings Richard Schabacker to life and immerses you in the exciting financial events of the 1920s and 1930s. You will gain useful knowledge from Schabacker’s astute observations on markets. George Schade won the Charles H. Dow Award for “outstanding research,” and here you will see why. –ROBERT R. PRECHTER, JR., Elliott Wave International The history of technical analysis is vanishing. With each passing a bit of the library burns down. There are a few who are fighting the fires. Chief among them is George Schade, a consummate researcher, whose biography of Richard Schabacker snatches this pioneer’s story from the onslaught of entropy. If you care about the history of technical analysis, and I think every trader and investor should, this work is a must read. –JOHN A. BOLLINGER, President, Bollinger Capital Management, Inc. One can only wonder what Richard Schabacker, Princeton graduate, writer, author, distinguished finance editor of Forbes Magazine, teacher, devoted husband and father, might have accomplished had he not died at the young age of 36. Schabacker’s many accomplishments included developing the first stock market “index” and a groundbreaking course in technical analysis. Little has been known about this quiet Wall Street figure that lived through the Roaring 20’s, the Crash of 1929 and the Depression. This is a meticulously researched and lovingly detailed book about a brilliant and complicated man who was “an ardent believer in the efficacy of charts” who felt “no individual can trade intelligently without them.” –GAIL M. DUDACK, Managing Director Dudack Research Group, a division of Wellington Shields & Co. LLC. George Schade masterfully tells the unknown story of a market genius. Schabacker comes alive in the pages of this thoroughly researched book. Readers feel the excitement of the market in that long ago era and the market action animates the tale of a life well lived but cut tragically short. This book belongs on the bookshelf of anyone interested in the stock market or anyone seeking an understanding of human nature and how success can hide personal problems until it's too late. –MICHAEL J. CARR, Senior Editor, Banyan Hill Publishing Although Richard Schabacker’s life was short-lived, he was a giant in the field of technical analysis, contributing so much to the subject and has left all of us so enriched as a result. His passion and devotion is captured in this very revealing book. His concepts are indelible: market psychology, stages of price/business cycles, sentiment and the combination of value investing with technical timing – they have empowered us. –RALPH J. ACAMPORA, Director of Technical Research for Altaira, Ltd.
