" This intoxicating book by the author of The Revolution of Little Girls combines autobiography, reporting, and the dressed-up lies we call fiction. An underground classic since its initial publication, it is the wildly funny personal testament of Blanche McCrary Boyd, sixties radical and born-againÀ Southerner, a lesbian with an un-P.C. passion for skydiving and stock-car racing, a graduate of Esalen and kundalini yoga who now takes her altered states "raw, like oysters." The Redneck Way of Knowledge is about family reunions and kamikaze love affairs. It is about crashing an arts festival with two precociously decayed Charleston aristocrats and watching the Pope deliver Communion at Yankee Stadium. It is about the selves we try on and slough off on the way to becoming who we are. Throughout, Blanche Boyd travels the expressway between the realm of the senses and the state of grace, and reports on the journey in prose that combines riotous humor, diamond-hard intelligence, and savage lyricism. Library of Congress subject headings for this publication: Boyd, Blanche M, , 1945-Authors, American 20th century Biography, Southern States Social life and customs 1865-South Carolina Social life and customs, Lesbians United States Biography."--Publisher's description.

Learning and knowledge in business is undergoing a dramatic, and necessary, revolution. Business leaders are redefining the concept of leadership and reevaluating the basic premises of management in the knowledge–driven company. Knowledge management is a slippery concept. Knowledge is a set of related beliefs and experiences in the mind of an individual, not a physical asset like capital equipment. How can we manage that which resides with the minds of others, intangible and invisible? How can we manage the unmanageable? Rather than a “how-to” manual for mounting knowledge management initiatives, in this book Stowe Boyd examines the new realities for business: · The value of a business is no longer principally based on tangible assets, but on intangibles · Information technology is the prime mover of the new economy, and those who master IT increase their chances of success · Our ways of management a largely leftover from the industrial era of the immediate past, and are not naturally workable in the new business context In exploring the contradictions posed by the old and the new economic order, business leaders learn to balance the apparently opposing interests of delivering value to customer and encouraging the development and sharing of knowledge in the firm.

"Help! I need somebody--but is it a guru or a shrink?" In response to this dilemma, the philosopher Jacob Needleman arranged a lecture series at the University of California Medical Center in San Francisco, in the hope of clarifying both the distinctions and the interrelations between these two paths of self-knowledge, psychotherapy and the ancient spiritual disciplines. This book is the enriching and often electrifying result. The eight lecturers--psychotherapists interested in the further reaches of self-development and spiritual teachers concerned with helping people live--dispatch the basic question with little ultimate disagreement. The consensus, most concisely expressed by British therapist A. C. Robin Skynner, is that therapy and the sacred traditions lead in quite different, one might say perpendicular, directions: therapy towards integration and functioning on the plane of normal daily life, spiritual discipline towards the far more difficult and demanding ascent into transcendence and self-evolution. But while the confusion of the two can be dangerous, properly understood they can assist and enhance each other." - Kirkus Reviews, 10/15/76.
