"The author of the world wide best-seller, "Small Is
Beautiful," now tackles the subject of Man, the World, and
the Meaning of Living.      Schumacher writes about man's
relation  to the world.  man has obligations -- to other men,
to the earth, to progress and technology, but most
importantly himself.   If  man can fulfill these obligations,
 then and only then can he enjoy a real relationship with the
world, then and only then can  he know the meaning of
living.Schumacher says we need maps: a "map of knowledge" and
a "map of living." The concern of the mapmaker--in this
instance, Schumacher--is to find for everything it's proper
place.  Things out of place tend to get lost; they become
invisible  and there proper places end to be filled by other
things that ought not be there at all and therefore serve to
mislead.A Guide for the Perplexed teaches us to be our own
map makers.  This constantly surprising, always stimulating
book will be welcomed by a large audience, including the many
new fans who believe strongly in what Schumacher has to say."
