First edition

Softcover, London: Hutchinson, 1978. First Edition. Very Good+. Uncorrected Proof copy in salmon-colored wraps. No man is an island; he is a 'holon'. Like Janus, the two-faced Roman god, holons have a dual tendency to behave as quasi-independent wholes, asserting their individualities, but at the same time as integrated parts of larger wholes in the multi-levelled hierarchies of existence.
