Everyone wants to be filled. Modern-lifers long for meaning, and from Dockhead, London, Ed Fisher sees this clearer than most: in Nancy, his novelist wife in search of her working-class roots; in lovelorn friends; in his workaholic editor, and in Blake, his famous and distant father, filled with regret. So when Nancy disappears midway through writing her third book, Ed must figure out why before she is swallowed by a media frenzy and he is forced to live out the plots to her past and future works. The first from a trilogy of books on belonging in modern terms, Dockhead is about finding identity in love, in art, through work, sex and drugs, and finding fulfilment through the worlds created by fiction - though fulfilment may be a fiction itself.

Making Do by Paul Goodman is a collection of essays that explore the concept of ""making do"" in various aspects of life. Goodman argues that the ability to make do, or to be resourceful and creative with limited resources, is a valuable skill that is often overlooked in modern society. He examines the ways in which people have historically made do in areas such as food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, and suggests that these practices can be applied in contemporary contexts to promote sustainability and self-sufficiency. The book also touches on broader social and political issues, such as the role of technology in modern life and the importance of community and cooperation. Overall, Making Do offers a thought-provoking perspective on the value of resourcefulness and resilience in the face of challenges.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Paul Goodman's Growing Up Absurd was a runaway best seller when it was first published in 1960, and it became one of the defining texts of the New Left. Goodman was a writer and thinker who broke every mold and did it brilliantly--he was a novelist, poet, and a social theorist, among a host of other things--and the book's surprise success established him as one of America's most unusual and trenchant critics, combining vast learning, an astute mind, utopian sympathies, and a wonderfully hands-on way with words. For Goodman, the unhappiness of young people was a concentrated form of the unhappiness of American society as a whole, run by corporations that provide employment (if and when they do) but not the kind of meaningful work that engages body and soul. Goodman saw the young as the first casualties of a humanly re-pressive social and economic system and, as such, the front line of potential resistance. Noam Chomsky has said, "Paul Goodman's impact is all about us," and certainly it can be felt in the powerful localism of today's renascent left. A classic of anarchist thought, Growing Up Absurd not only offers a penetrating indictment of the human costs of corporate capitalism but points the way forward. It is a tale of yesterday's youth that speaks directly to our common future.

The CBC Massey Lectures, Canada's preeminent public lecture series, are for many of us a highly anticipated annual feast of ideas. However, some of the finest lectures, by some of the greatest minds of modern times, have been lost for many years -- unavailable to the public in any form. Important thinkers whose Massey Lectures are lamentably out of print include the likes of Martin Luther King, Jr., John Kenneth Galbraith, Jane Jacobs, Paul Goodman, and Eric Kierans. Each of these lecturers spoke on a subject at the heart of their intellectual and spiritual concerns -- King on race and prejudice, Galbraith on economics and poverty, Jacobs on Canadian cities and Quebec separatism, Goodman on the moral ambiguity of America, Kierans on globalism and the nation-state -- and their words are not only of considerable historical significance but remain hugely relevant to the problems we face today. At last, a selection of these "lost" lectures is available to a world so hungry for, and yet in such short supply of, innovative ideas. The Lost Massey Lectures includes an introduction by Bernie Lucht, who has been the executive producer of CBC Radio's Ideas and the Massey Lectures since 1984.

"Reifung ist ein fortwährender Prozess des Sichlösens von den Stützen der Umwelt, wobei Selbständigkeit entwickelt wird, was bedeutet, dass Abhängigkeiten immer geringer werden." Um diesen fortwährenden Prozess des Gestaltgewinnens des Ganzheitlichen geht es in diesem Band. Der Leser wird aufgefordert zum Mitmachen von Experimenten, was ihm das "Gewahrwerden" ermöglicht. Hierbei wird er nach und nach in die Grundbegriffe der Gestalttheorie wie offene und geschlossene Gestalt, Figur- Hintergrund, Organismus-Umwelt-Feld, Widerstände, Verstrickung und Kontakt eingeführt. Das Buch enthält 18 praktische Experimente in zwei Teilen: die erste Hälfte fordert auf zur "Expedition in die eigene Intimsphäre", die zweite wendet sich dem Experimentieren zu. Der Doppelband: Das englischsprachige Originalwerk ist in einem Band erschienen. Die deutsche Ausgabe besteht aus dem vorliegenden Praxisband und dem 2006 bei Klett-Cotta in neuer Übersetzung erschienenen Band "Gestalttherapie. Grundlagen der Lebensfreude und Persönlichkeitsentwicklung", (siehe unten), der die theoretische Fundierung der Gestalttherapie darstellt. Beide Bände können unabhängig voneinander gelesen werden.
