Levine first offers a theory about change in organizations, based on the personality of the organization. He then examines his ...

In the first full-length study of Joyce's direct and indirect use of alchemical allusions, DiBernard shows how an awareness of the alchemical metaphor guides a reader through the richness of Finnegans Wake.
