paperback. Zustand: Good. Covers are worn and soiled, binding sound, pages age-toned. "The visualization may exist in empty space or it may be related to a part of the physical organism. The individual may be asked to see a color or a shape in a particular part of his body. The purpose of such an exercise is to awaken latent functions in the body that are presumed to reside in specific locations." To create an "internal curriculum" designed to help children develop their feelings as well as their intellects, this thought-provoking book explores such new learning methods as psycho-synthesis, Tai Chi Chuan, and tantric yoga. Breathing exercises, for example, might replace mathematics on a day-to-day basis. A computer-simulated moonflight might be followed by a stu-dent-run gestalt therapy session. Professor Mann has adapted many awareness and sensitivity techniques of behavior change for classroom use, and related them to fifteen basic human func-tions. His eclectic and humanistic approach is process-oriented, "like a change in the wind, whose direction can be detected but whose outer limits cannot be drawn." The students who are waiting are a new breed. This book is dedicated to serve their needs. JOHN MANN is a Professor in and Chairman of the Department of Sociology, State University College, Geneseo, New York.
