The modern era is one of organizations, and as we approach the next century there is little evidence that the importance of institutions in society will diminish. As they have grown in scope and number so has material published by and about them. Yet managers, academicians and their students, and researchers do not have ready access to information about these significant social entities. In an increasingly complex world of organizations, more and more people need such data to assist in defining and solving problems.

The lack of a comprehensive information system has frustrated users, disseminators, and generators of knowledge; the documentation and control of the literature on organizations have been generally neglected. Indeed, major gaps in the development of the literature, the bibliographical structure of the field, have evolved.

Garland Publishing, Inc., has inaugurated the present series as an authoritative guide to information sources on the subject. it seeks to consolidate published material on a wide variety of public, private, and non-profit organizations including: (a) federal agencies, Congressional committees, the judicial branch, and international bodies; (b) corporations, interest groups, trade unions, and consulting firms; as well as (c) professional associations, scientific societies, and educational institutions.

Each book will be compiled by one or more specialists in the area. The authorspractitioners and scholarsare selected in open competition from across the country. They design their work to include an introductory essay, a wide variety of bibliographic materials and, where appropriate, an information resource section. Thus each contribution in the collection provides a systematic basis for managers and researchers to make informed judgments in the course of their work.

Since no single volume can adequately encompass such a broad, interdisciplinary subject, the series is intended as a continuous project that will incorporate new bodies of literature as needed. Its titles represent the initial building blocks in an operating information system for understanding organizations and society. As an open-ended endeavor, it is hoped that not only will the series serve to summarize knowledge in the field but also will contribute to its advancement.

This collection of book-length bibliographies is the product of considerable collaboration on the part of many people. Special appreciation is extended to the individual contributors in the series and to the anonymous reviewers of each of the volumes. Inquiries should be made to the Series Editor.

I once lived for a while in southeast Ohio, a beautiful region with green rolling hills and thick forests. At the time I was there, it was the home of the United States Orienteering Federation. Orienteering is the perfect sport for outdoor enthusiasts. The purpose is to find your way through the woods with a map and compass, outracing competitors from one station to another marked on the map with small circles. The winner is seldom the most fleet of foot, but rather the best in reading map and compass.

My orienteering days came to mind after first exploring Mark M, Lowenthal's excellent new bibliography on intelligence. The literature on intelligence has become in recent years a dense forest of books, articles, newsletters, government documents, memoirs, and monographs. As with orienteering, it is easy to become lost. While orienteering, one wishes to avoid bogs, quarries, and rickety bridges; similarly, the intelligence scholar without a good map and compass confronts the peril of vast tracts of bogus literature on a topic that seems to attract more them its share of charlatans.
