General Blog Objectives are to:

• promote independent learning

• raise awareness about socialized limitations on thought
• promote cross-disciplinary, and post-disciplinary thinking
• promote systems thinking as stepping stone to more holistic thinking processes

Here’s an obscure remnant of Innovation Strategies, the e-book I market tested back in 2006. This is a screen-shot from the library webpage of IDS St. Gallen, an European university. This page features the library’s record entry for the e-book.
