TL;DR: In this article, the authors define a strategy as a pattern in a stream of decisions and contrast between "deliberate" strategies, that is, patterns intended before being realized, and "emergent" patterns, patterns realized despite or in the absence of intentions.
Abstract: December 1979, volume 24 For about eight years now, a group of us at McGill University's Faculty of Management has been researching the process of strategy formation. Defining a strategy as a pattern in a stream of decisions, our central theme has been the contrast between "deliberate" strategies, that is, patterns intended before being realized, and "emergent" strategies, patterns realized despite or in the absence of intentions. Emergent strategies are rather common in organizations, or, more to the point, almost all strategies seem to be in some part at least, emergent. To quote that expression so popular on posters these days, "Life is a journey, not a destination."

TL;DR: A collection of essays by Isaiah Berlin is presented in this paper, where the main theme is the importance in the history of thought of dissenters whose ideas still challenge conventional wisdom, such as Machiavelli, Vico, Montesquieu, Hamann, Herzen and Sorel.
Abstract: This is a collection of essays by Isaiah Berlin. His main theme is the importance in the history of thought of dissenters whose ideas still challenge conventional wisdom. Machiavelli, Vico, Montesquieu, Hamann, Herzen and Georges Sorel are the central examples. With his unusual powers of imaginative re-creation he brings to life the ideas of men with original minds who swam against the current of their times and often made entirely new contributions to our intellectual heritage. The book also constitutes a powerful defence of variety - of values, of interpretations of reality and visions of life. It is completed by a full bibliography of Isaiah Berlin's publications, updated for this edition. It is one of four volumes of "Selected Writings", which comprise a comprehensive collection of Berlin's work.

TL;DR: A person-centered approach has been the primary theme of my whole professional life, as that theme has become clarified through experience, interaction with others, and research as mentioned in this paper. But what do I mean by a personcentered approach?
Abstract: But what do I mean by a person-centered approach? For me it expresses the primary theme of my whole professional life, as that theme has become clarified through experience, interaction with others, and research. I smile as I think of the various labels I have given to this theme during the course of my career nondirective counselling, client-centered therapy, student-centered teaching, group-centered leadership. As the fields of application have grown in number and variety, the label "person-centered approach" seems the most descriptive.

TL;DR: The authors examined the art of four of Ireland's greatest writers through a detailed examination of their works in the context of a single main theme: each writer's attempt to grapple with, or define, the nature or meaning of Irish cultural and political identity.
Abstract: This work illuminates the art of four of Ireland's greatest writers through a detailed examination of their works in the context of a single main theme: each writer's attempt to grapple with, or define, the nature or meaning of Irish cultural and political identity. This vexed quetion of identity is an obsessive concern for each of the four, permeating the content, form and style of their major works. Rather than use the literature reductively, G.J. Watson allows his major theme to emerge and develop from direct and close engagement with the writers' texts, which are examined in detailed, full-length essays. This book has been much used by undergraduate and postgraduate students. It should be enjoyed by all those with an interest in Irish literature and culture, and especially by those with a particular interest in Synge, Yeats, Joyce or O'Casey.

TL;DR: From the days when Christians were identified by the exclamation, “See how they love one another!”, to the present when other sorts of exclamations may be heard, the phenomenon of Christian community has received considerable attention as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: From the days when Christians were identified by the exclamation, “See how they love one another!”, to the present when other sorts of exclamations may be heard, the phenomenon of Christian community has received considerable attention. “From the first century in Rome,” Robert Nisbet has observed, “down to the contemporary works of Maritain, Niebuhr, and Ellul, the search for Christian community has been a crucial element of Western history.” Durkheim, Nisbet adds, found the very origins of religion in “the sense of the sacred community.” Whether as historians of Western history or of church history, we cannot escape the question of community. And whether as citizen or believer, neither can we escape more existential questions suggested in our own land and our own time that relate to the broad theme, “Christianity and Community.”

TL;DR: Letty Russell as discussed by the authors developed the theme of the individual in partnership, both with God and with others, and dealt with the theological foundations of partnership and such practical concerns as lifestyles, human sexuality, education, church community life, and ministry.
Abstract: How should men and women and God relate to one another? Letty Russell's answer is "partnership," understood in new ways as a relationship rooted in the life story of Jesus. Instead of concentrating on individuals as single entities, she develops the theme of the individual in partnership--both with God and with Others. She deals with the theological foundations of partnership and such practical concerns as lifestyles, human sexuality, education, church community life, and ministry. Her book speaks to the interests of churchwomen, feminists, students of theology, and the many who have studied her other books.
TL;DR: In 1972, at the annual meeting of the Society for the History of Technology, three historians of technology raised questions about the past, present, and future of the field as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: In 1972, at the annual meeting of the Society for the History of Technology, three historians of technology raised questions about the past, present, and future of the field.' Eugene Ferguson, in his essay "Toward a Discipline of the History of Technology," declared that the field had not yet established its intellectual identity. Edwin Layton considered "Technology as Knowledge," a theme he has explored further on several occasions. Robert Multhauf made "Some Observa-
TL;DR: In this paper, it was suggested that the traditional ballad should sooner or later invite study on the basis of the "oral-formulaic theory" evolved by Milman H. Parry and Albert Bates Lord from their study of the Yugoslav guslars and applied with startling and controversial effect to a range of genres, including the Homeric and Germanic epics, the chansons de gestes, medieval romances, and other verse traditions.
Abstract: AS ENGLISH LITERATURE'S MOST ORAL GENRE, it was inevitable that the traditional ballad should sooner or later invite study on the basis of the "oralformulaic theory" evolved by Milman H. Parry and Albert Bates Lord from their study of the Yugoslav guslars 1 and since applied with startling and controversial effect to a range of genres, including the Homeric and Germanic epics, the chansons de gestes, medieval romances, and other verse traditions.2 As a matter of contemporary controversy in such a number of fields, the oralformulaic theory requires no detailed exposition here. Suffice it to recall that, according to the theory, a performer or singer in an oral tradition does not memorize and reproduce a fixed text of his song, but improvises at each performance a new text, on the basis of a memorized narrative skeleton, using a series of techniques, the most important being the "formula," the "formulaic system," and the "theme." At first glance, the ballad does not seem a promising field for such exploration. In contrast to the Yugoslav epics on the basis of which the oral-formulaic theory was evolved, and the genres (also mainly epics) to which it was first applied, the ballad is short, stanzaic (with all that this implies for the recurrence of melodic patterns and the restrictions of rhyme), and altogether a much more tightly structured form, providing, it would seem, much less opportunity for the improvisational re-creation of the individual singer. Albert B. Lord himself, in a passing remark, implied as much,3 and others have done the same.4 Holger Olof Nygard, discussing another problem-the application of
TL;DR: Rousseau's arguments and conclusions about women exemplify very clearly the way that political philosophers, in so far as they have referred to the subject, have tended to argue about the female half of the human race as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: ROUSSEAU IS DEAS and arguments about women-their nature, their education, and their proper place in the social and political orderare worthy of thorough examination for two important reasons. First, women are a "non-issue" in many of the great works of political philosophy, and Rousseau is one of the very few major philosophers who had a considerable amount to say about women and their place in society. Only Plato and John Stuart Mill shared anything approaching his concern with the subject. In many of Rousseau's works, but most particularly Emile, La Nouvelle Heloise and the Letter to M. dAlembert, the theme of women is of unmistakable importance. Second, Rousseau's arguments and conclusions about women exemplify very clearly the way that political philosophers, in so far as they have referred to the subject, have tended to argue about the female half of the human race. This paper will specify and explain those aspects of Rousseau's writings about women which exemplify the general patriarchal bias of political theory.

TL;DR: It is found that melancholy women (women supposedly having too much black bile—Greek melas choie) were much more susceptible to cancer than other females, and this theme resurfacing repeatedly in medical literature, particularly in the last three centuries.
Abstract: The concept that cancer might in some way be related to stress or other emotional factors is probably as old as the history of recorded medicine itself. Galen’s treatise on tumors De Tumoribus notes that melancholy women (women supposedly having too much black bile—Greek melas choie) were much more susceptible to cancer than other females. We find a similar theme resurfacing repeatedly in medical literature, particularly in the last three centuries.

TL;DR: Nietzsche's initial approval and later criticism of Darwinism is not limited to a specific theme of his philosophy, but is a part of his central philosophical concern, viz. the relation between nature and culture.
Abstract: It has been generally assumed that the influence of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution on Friedrich Nietzsche (1844- 1900) is to be understood in terms of Nietzsche's concept """"Obermensch"""" (overman). Hardly any attention has been paid to the question of the status of Darwin's theory in Nietzsche's philosophy. It is the purpose of this essay to answer that question.
Nietzsche's initial approval, and later criticism, of Darwinism is not limited to a specific theme of his philosophy, but is a part of his central philosophical concern, viz. the relation between nature and culture. Nietzsche approved of Darwin's theory as a natural basis for the explanation of human values. Later he is concerned about the basis of Darwin's theory and criticizes it because of its anthropomorphic presuppositions. This criticism is relevant to the present debate on the status of Darwin's theory of evolution and that of Nietzsche's theory of """"will to power"""".
TL;DR: Gage as discussed by the authors discusses the necessity for interplay between research groundings and practical applications in the field of teacher education and the importance of applying what we know about teaching to practical applications.
Abstract: contributors to this field in their own right. For these reasons alone, a current statement by Gage about his view of the accomplishments of, and the prospects for, research on teaching would be worthy of attention (2). The value of this book is not limited to its genealogy, however; it is a concise, clear, and thoughtful statement that warrants the attention of anyone interested in the development and the application of knowledge about teaching. The book is composed of three chapters, which are expanded versions of lectures that Gage presented at Teachers College in April, 1977. The major theme of the book is the necessity for interplay between research groundings and practical applications. Thus the first chapter, "Reviewing What We Know: The Results of Recent Research," summarizes and extrapolates from the results of some current and earlier research on teaching; while the second chapter, "Applying What We Know: The Field of Teacher Educa-

TL;DR: The idea of pilgrimage occupies an important place in the life and thought of Ignatius Loyola as discussed by the authors In the autobiography which he dictated to a colleague late in his life he refers to himself throughout as "the pilgrim" He actually went on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and describes in detail his long and difficult journey.
Abstract: The idea of pilgrimage occupies an important place in the life and thought of Ignatius Loyola In the autobiography which he dictated to a colleague late in his life he refers to himself throughout as “the pilgrim” He actually went on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and describes in detail his long and difficult journey His biographers too often use the term and imagery of pilgrimage when they write about his early years, yet the notion of pilgrimage in his life has never been explored to any extent; nor has its significance, I believe, been sufficiently taken into account In this article I should like to focus on this theme and indicate what I consider to be its role and importance in his religious experience
