Abstract
This book concerns a cultural transformation in the making. It deals with the theory and practice through which such a transformation can be deliberately fostered. Ours is an exciting age, not least because of its bubbling cultural ferment, and we can make the most of living at this particular time. This book suggests how we can rise to the cultural challenge.
