About 50 people attended, and there was a Question and Answer period. Many of those who attended seem to …

Russ Volckmann
Russ: Roberto, we have been in communication for several years and much of it has been in relation to the work you have done with Don Beck in Mexico. For example, one of the things that you have written about is the work that you have done with the Department of Education and the Teachers’ Union. Can you tell us about the status of that project?
Roberto: Sure. Well, it’s not really good news. When we got close …
Book Reviews / August 2011

This is a brilliant book which would be of interest to Integral people for three reasons: although it does not have a concept of levels, it does range over all four quadrants of the AQAL model; it uses second-tier thinking throughout; and it is firmly research-based.
The first chapter takes us on to the international stage, and the concept …

On 22nd May we met in a village hall somewhere in the countryside of Somerset and were lucky enough to have Gary Hawke come down from London for the day to give us …

On Potential Repercussions of Mega Sports Events in Russia
Eugene Pustoshkin
I was deeply emotionally touched—up to tears—when I watched the footage of a dramatic episode that happened on June 22, 2011, where the contemporary sports legend and Brazilian football star Roberto Carlos, age 38, who currently plays at the Russian football club Anzhi and is the captain of the team, left the football pitch in Samara after a fan of the opposing team, Krylya Sovetov, threw a banana in …

Recently I received an email through the Science-of-Team-Science mass mailer from my colleague Steve Fiore, PhD, at Cognitive Sciences Laboratory at Central Florida University. He brought to our group’s attention an interesting quote from John Lasseter, director and chief creative officer of Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios that reaffirms why those of us in organizational and team science so emphatically try to better understand interactive social dynamics.
