The Collected Papers of Roger Harrison
Organizational development, the field, and Roger Harrison, the man, have been synonymous for over 30 years. Here, at last, is a book in which the classical contributions of this thoughtful and inventive pioneer have been brought together, and woven with his inspirational insights into possible new futures for organizations. Here are the acclaimed and sought after papers on role negotiation, organization culture, principles of intervention, and self-directed learning in which Harrison breaks new ground, constantly questioning his own practice and that of his colleagues, extracting the kernels of truth and value that underlie the passing fads and fancies of consultancy and management education. Here, too, are previously unavailable inspirational insights of this master practitioner into organizational learning, spirituality, love and healing, crafting a new paradigm for organizational change for the next millennium. The Collected Papers of Roger Harrison will stimulate the thinking of students, trainers, teachers, consultants and managers alike, providing a long perspective on this controversial OD sector.

Essays on Art and Language
Critical and theoretical essays by a long-time participant in the Art & Language movement. These essays by art historian and critic Charles Harrison are based on the premise that making art and talking about art are related enterprises. They are written from the point of view of Art & Language, the artistic movement based in England—and briefly in the United States—with which Harrison has been associated for thirty years. Harrison uses the work of Art & Language as a central case study to discuss developments in art from the 1950s through the 1980s. According to Harrison, the strongest motivation for writing about art is that it brings us closer to that which is other than ourselves. In ...
