Staying Human in the Organization
Bernhard and Glantz attribute many workplace problems to a basic conflict between human nature and the structure of modern organizations.

Carter further argues that the political creations designed to protect and nourish those 'social wombs' are in effect also adjuncts of human evolution. Nurturing Evolution ends by elaborating on the great dissimilarity between morally responsible human adults produced within politically nurtured families and the naked apes envisaged by other schools of political theory.

The general public and many professionals assume that psychological issues have been and will be extremely important factors in successful space exploration. This book, however, documents how NASA underutilized, downplayed, then ultimately ignored psychiatric and psychological characteristics in selecting astronauts, until very recently.
