About this title

Synopsis

Humanity today is passing through an extremely important and crucial transition toward a global society. In this process each individual is obliged to adjust his or her psychic and spiritual being to successfully cope with the new paradigm. This whole area offers endless scope for a creative exploration of the relationship between the individual and the community, between members of the vast family, and within the crucible of each individual psyche.

Dr. Abt has made an important contribution toward articulating a holistic approach to the process of planning for modernization. He has touched upon some of the deeper issues involved which require our careful and sustained attention.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
