"Presence" is an intimate look at the development of a new theory about change and learning. In wide-ranging conversations held over a year and a half, organizational learning pioneers Peter Senge, C. Otto Scharmer, Joseph Jaworski, and Betty Sue Flowers explored the nature of transformational change--how it arises, and the fresh possibilities it offers a world dangerously out of balance. The book introduces the idea of "presence"--a concept borrowed from the natural world that the whole is entirely present in any of its parts--to the worlds of business, education, government, and leadership. Too often, the authors found, we remain stuck in old patterns of seeing and acting. By encouraging deeper levels of learning, we create an awareness of the larger whole, leading to actions that can help to shape its evolution and our future.
Drawing on the wisdom and experience of 150 scientists, social leaders, and entrepreneurs, including Brian Arthur, Rupert Sheldrake, Buckminster Fuller, Lao Tzu, and Carl Jung, "Presence" is both revolutionary in its exploration and hopeful in its message. This astonishing and completely original work goes on to define the capabilities that underlie our ability to see, sense, and realize new possibilities--in ourselves, in our institutions and organizations, and in society itself.

Holderlin to his mother, 16. November 1799 A. Introduction 1 General The modem cross-sectional imaging methods of sonography and computed to mography, developed in the early 1970s, have contributed greatly to noninva sive studies of the parenchymatous organs and permit the evaluation of patho logic changes in areas that were previously accessible only to invasive, indirect, or inadequate examination."

Das Buch enthalt eine Auswahl von Vortragen des 12. Dreilandertreffens 1988. Im Mittelpunkt der Tagung standen die Dopplertechnik und der Problemkreis des Ultraschallscreenings, aber auch viele weitere technische und methodische Entwicklungen wurden behandelt. Ein Rundtischgesprach befasste sich mit den sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Aspekten der Ultraschalldiagnostik. Der Leser erhalt so einen aktuellen Uberblick uber den neuesten Stand der Ultraschalldiagnostik.

1 Allgemeines Wahrend der friihen 70er Jahre sind die modemen Schnittbildverfahren Sono- graphie und Computertomographie entwickelt worden, welche die nichtinvasi- ve Diagnostik im Bereich der parenchymatOsen Organe betrachtlich verbessert haben und die Beurteilung krankhafter Vedinderungen in Korperregionen er- lauben, die zuvor nur mit Schwierigkeiten, invasiv, indirekt oder unzureichend untersucht werden konnten. Diese Schnittbildverfahren haben heute einen hohen Stand der Perfektion erreicht und stehen nicht nur in allen groBen, sondem oft auch in kleineren Zentren und sogar in mancher Praxis zur Verfiigung. Damit kommen ihre Vorteile den Kranken voll zugute. In jiingster Zeit gesellt sich zu ihnen noch eine weitere Schnittbildmethode, die Kemspintomographie (MR!, "nuclear magnetic resonance"), die ohne Rontgenstrahlen arbeitet und Tomographien in verschiedenen Ebenen anzufertigen erlaubt. Der diagnostisch tatige Arzt wird heute in die Lage versetzt, bei manchen Kranken mit Hilfe der modemen Schnittbildtechnik rasch die endgtiltige Dia- gnose zu finden. Gelingt dies nicht auf Anhieb, so helfen ihm diese Verfahren, die Wahl fUr jene Folgeuntersuchung zu treffen, die am ehesten bei der Fahn- dung nach dem zugrunde liegenden KrankheitsprozeB weiterhilft. Ahnlich wie bei Anwendung der konventionellen Rontgendiagnostik gibt es auch mit den neuen Untersuchungsverfahren trotz hohen technischen und fi- nanziellen Aufwands Probleme und Krankheiten, die die feingewebliche Ana- lyse erfordem, bevor eine eingreifendere Therapie vorgenommen werden kann.

Radical and hopeful - Presence synthesises cutting-edge thinking, firsthand knowledge and ancient wisdom Presence: Human Purpose and the Field of the Future gives the reader an intimate look at the development of a new theory about change and learning. A book built around a series of wide-ranging conversations over a year and a half, Senge, Scharmer, Jaworski, and Flowers explore their own experiences and those of one hundred and fifty scientists and social and business entrepreneurs in an effort to explain how profound collective change occurs. Their journey of discovery articulates a new way of seeing the world, and of understanding our part in creating it - as it is and as it might be. Presence explores the living fields that connect us to one another, to life more broadly, and, potentially, to what is "seeking to emerge." Seven capacities underlie our ability to see, sense, and realize new possibilities. Developing these capacities accesses a deeper level of learning that is the key to creating change that services the whole - ourselves, our organizations and the communities of which we are a part.

With Thomas Demand, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Andreas Gursky, and Jeff Wall, the exhibition spotlights four master photographers whose visual constructions call into question the possibilities and limits of human perception and the photographic medium. Both in analogue and digital form, these artists create unconventional perspectives on reality. Their spectrum of subjects ranges from fleeting scenes of daily life to enigmatic incidents and historic events. The point of connection between the works lies in the artists' shared intention to combine the traditional documentary aspect of photography with fictional elements. In so doing, they generate visual disruptions, encouraging viewers to question their own impressions of reality.
