See 'Press Notices'. - HOW THE HUMAN BRAIN DEVELOPED AND THE HUMAN MIND WORKS
This report gives a clear appreciation of what happens during a night's sleep and explains the role of dreaming and the meaning of dreams. The functioning and role of the two halves of the human brain are related to the functioning and control of the autonomic nervous system and the immune system. The report also indicates how human behaviour is affected by the primitive instincts of our reptilian ancestors. See 'Press Notices'. - FAMILY, SEX AND THE INDIVIDUAL; WOMEN'S LIBERATION, FEMINISM AND COMMUNITY
The report investigates casual sex and its effects on individuals, family and community. It also investigates dominance and confrontation within the family and in the working environment, how men and women relate to each other, and the role of the family in bringing up children. It examines root causes of major social problems and shows how to resolve the problems by dealing with their basic causes. See 'Press Notices'. - WHAT PEOPLE ARE STRUGGLING AGAINST: UNDERSTANDING HOW SOCIETY IS ORGANISED FOR CONTROLLING AND EXPLOITING PEOPLE
Report of study undertaken to find out why people have to struggle throughout their adult lives, in all countries and organisations, at all levels, to maintain and improve their standard of living and quality of life. We know what people are struggling to achieve and the study investigates why people have to struggle by looking at what they are struggling against. - CORRUPTED ECONOMICS AND MISGUIDED EXPERTS
Shows how 'Economics' is used to misinform and mislead the general public, and looks at the role and vested interests of experts. - UNDERSTANDING HOW SOCIETY IS ORGANISED FOR CONTROLLING AND EXPLOITING PEOPLE
Describes how corporations (companies) accumulate their capital and reserves from moneys taken from customers. Enterprises are allowed to collect, take over and control such moneys and co-operatives also take over moneys from their members. Describes how people's massive savings are placed under the control of others. - TAXING THE POPULATION FOR PRIVATE PROFIT
Shows how taxpayers' moneys are used in different ways to enlarge the profits of companies (corporations). These are in effect allowed to tax the population and to pass large parts of their operating costs to taxpayers. - DEMOCRACY UNDER ATTACK: TOP-LEVEL LEADERSHIP AND DECISION-TAKING
Discusses and illustrates the internal struggles taking place in political parties and all other organisations, for achieving greater democracy and against those wishing to overpower democratic processes of decision-taking. - DEMOCRACY, SOCIALISM AND COMMUNISM: THE WORLDWIDE STRUGGLE FOR A BETTER LIFE
Exposes what people are struggling against, the secretive manipulations of bureaucracy, oppressors and exploiters.
Shows that underlying Judaism, Christianity and Islam are the same fundamental benevolent and egalitarian social laws and social system which also underlie Democracy, Socialism and Communism.
They were replaced in each religion, by the hierarchies (bureaucracies), with 'man-made', ruler- and hierarchy-serving, obedience demanding, protest silencing, indoctrination.
Covers dominance and confrontation within the family and in the working environment.
Shows how the media are being used for 'social engineering', for turning the struggle of the working population into 'self-defeating' directions, into scoring 'own goals'. - USING WORDS TO COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY
Shows how to communicate more effectively, covering aspects of thinking, writing, speaking and listening as well as formal and informal communications. Consists of guidelines found useful by university students and practising middle and senior managers. - CO-OPERATIVES AND CO-OPERATION: CAUSES OF FAILURE, GUIDELINES FOR SUCCESS
This report looks at why members of established co-ops and mutual societies are dissatisfied, why there is little appreciation of what co-operatives aim to achieve. The report is based on eight studies of co-operatives and mutual societies. Its conclusions and recommendations are relevant and cover fundamental and practical problems of co-ops and mutual societies, of members, of direction, management and control. See 'Press Notices'. - SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY, PROFITS AND SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY
Incidents, disasters and catastrophes are here put together as individual case studies and reviewed as a whole. We are facing a sequence of events which are increasing in frequency, severity and extent. There are sections about what can be done about this, on community aims and comunity leadership, on the world-wide struggle for social accountability. - CREATING, PATENTING AND MARKETING OF NEW FORMS OF LIFE
Evaluates problems in genetic manipulation, and worldwide consequences of private ownership of new life-forms by multinationals. Contains important conclusions and recommendations about man-made forms of life, the food we eat, the direction in which multinationals are moving and their aims, how to control what is happening and how to improve the trend of events. - REORGANISING THE NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE: An Evaluation of the Griffiths Report
An evaluation of proposed fundamental changes to the National Health Service, to its principles, organisation and funding. The report correctly predicted the devastating effect of the changes. This 1984 report has become a classic study of the application and effect of General Management principles and of ignoring them. - EXPORTING AND IMPORTING OF EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT
Discusses exporting and importing of employment and unemployment, underlying principles, effect of trade, how to reduce unemployment, social costs of unemployment, community objectives, support for enterprises, socially irresponsible enterprise behaviour. See 'Press Notices'. - TRANSFER PRICING AND TAXATION
One of the most controversial operations of multinationals, transfer pricing, is clearly described and defined. An easily-followed illustration shows how transfer pricing can be used by multinationals to maximise their profits by tax avoidance and by obtaining tax rebates. Also discussed is the effect of transfer pricing on the tax burden carried by other tax payers. - OWNERSHIP AND LIMITED LIABILITY
Discusses different types of enterprises and the extent to which owners are responsible for repaying the debts of their enterprise. Also discussed are disadvantages, difficulties and abuses associated with the system of Limited Liability, and their implications for customers, suppliers and employees. - OWNERSHIP AND DECIDING POLICY: COMPANIES, SHAREHOLDERS, DIRECTORS AND COMMUNITY
A short statement which describes the system by which a company's majority shareholders decide policy and control the company. - COMMUNITY AND PUBLIC OWNERSHIP

Performance, control and accountability of community-owned enterprises and industries are discussed. Points made are illustrated by a number of striking case-studies. - THE RIGHT TO STRIKE
Discusses and defines the right to strike, the extent to which people can strike and what this implies. Also discussed are aspects of current problems such as part-time work and home working, Works Councils, uses and misuses of linking pay to a cost-of-living index, participation in decision-taking, upward redistribution of income and wealth. - COMMUNITY ECONOMICS: PRINCIPLES
This statement of the fundamental principles of the free-market economic system is unique and outstanding because it allows for the needs of the community. - JOHN LEWIS PARTNERSHIP PLC

This study looks at its profitability, at the extent to which it serves its partners and at its way of managing. - MONDRAGON CO-OPERATIVES (Mondragon Corporacion Cooperativa)
Mondragon co-operatives created for their members a good way of life and a high degree of job and social security. This study looks at the extent to which these co-ops serve their members and co-operate with each other. - KIBBUTZIM
Kibbutzim are successful co-operative communities now experiencing both practical and ideological problems. So the study looks at what is taking place to find reasons for success and causes of problems. - BUILDING SOCIETIES
Building societies are owned by their members for the benefit of both saving and borrowing members. But building societies have been merging, have been taken over by banks and have turned themselves into banks. This study looks at what is taking place, and why. - The Human Mind: Part 1: THE HUMAN GROUP MIND AND HOW IT WORKS
Shows that telepathic activity is well known and documented. Outlines and describes the 'Group Mind' theory. Discusses how conflict arises within the mind, mental health and illness, dominance, creativity and hearing voices. Describes how our minds shape our lives, communities and society. - The Human Mind: Part 2: MANIPULATED COMMUNITIES AND POPULATIONS
The workings of group minds is shown to explain how human communities and society are organised and the consequent confrontations and struggles from dictatorship to democracy. Discusses how mass media are forming and manipulating public opinions and illustrates how writers and artists have been sensing and expressing the underlying subconscious reality. - The Human Mind: Part 3: MANIPULATED INDIVIDUALS
Shows how emotional unreasoning behaviour is being reinforced to make it easier to mislead and exploit. Reviews available information pointing to possible causes of psychosomatic illnesses and of cot deaths. - The Human Mind: Part 4: FREEDOM, LIBERTY AND GOOD LIFE: OVERCOMING CORRUPT MANIPULATIONS
