This is a most difficult book to find. We cannot
even find a direct link into Amazon.Com for this one. Buckley's book is very important for a number of reasons. First of all, it appeared in a time frame where behavioral research was shifting away from the strict Skinnerian approach. Systems theory was making new inroads, and a lot of influential researchers such as Gordon Allport will still alive to contribute. There are 59 chapters, and Buckley's own chapter of "Society as a Complex Adaptive System" are worth the effort to find the book in your local library. |
