CoEvolution Quarterly, Winter 1982
“In this section, we’ve presented a variety of difficulties that reveal some of the needs and possibilities for both change and acceptance. Some of the adversities are slight, easily converted to success. Others are deep and social, requiring hard work to turn them around. We hope they’re all of interest.”
