Intellectual Disciplines and Sciences section reproduced from Yearbook of World Problems and Human Potential (1976) as published by Mankind 2000 and Union of International Associations (see http://www.un-intelligible.org/docs/initiate.php) The section is described in the following pages, followed by an index of disciplines (14 p.), and entries (68 p.) The whole PDF document has been rendered searchable. Note however that using the index to search for references to entries, it is preferable to use the number portion of the reference (rather than include the preceding letter) since the letter and spacing has not been recognized as consistent Example: D0021 Aeronomy, search for 0021 not D0021, or simply search for Aeronomy or aeronomy. However the number portion may also be common to that of other entities cross-referenced, and “D” may be recognized as “0”. Discipline entries have codes indicating cross-references to: Hierarchical relationships from a discipline: • 50: to others of which it is a component part.

Explanatory notes: 1. Each rectangle corresponds to one information series in this publication. 2. The letter in each rectangle is the same as that in the margin of the sequence of numbered entries of the corres­ ponding series. It may be used to locate the series since the margin marks are in alphabetical order. 3. The number in each rectangle is the total number of entries in the series in question. (Where there is a number asterisked within brackets, this indicates the number of additional entries cross-referenced within the same series, but which have not yet been allocated their own reference number). 4. The relationships indicated between series are not all present in this edition. 5. This diagram appears at the end of the Introduction to each section, facing the explanation of the contents and organization of the entries in that section. ENTRY CONTENT AND ORGANIZATION Entry content and organizationThe entries are divided into the following parts: 1 Entry number (and order): This number (and the order of the entries) has no special significance. The number has been allocated arbitrarily as a ·convenient method of identifying the discipline (particularly for indexing purposes), of filing information on it. and as an identifier to which cross-references from other entries (possibly in other sections) can refer. 2. Discipline name: This is a name associated with the discipline and which is commonly used to identify it. 3. Alternative discipline names: These are listed, if known, in parenthesis following the first discipline name. · · 4 . Description: This is obtained by selecting, restructuring and rewording existing definitions, usually from dictionaries (and mainly from Webster's Third New International Dictionary). It is not a formal definition. Where very different ways of describing or defining the discipline exist, these are included as separate points. 5: Relationships to numbered entries in each series: The cross­ references may be (1) toother organizations entries in this 0-Series, or (2) to entries in other series in this publication. 5. 1 To other discipline entries (in D-Series) 5. 1 . 1 Hierarchical relationships Code 50: a discipline, whose name and entry number (e.g. 01 234) in this 0-Series are given, of which this discipline is a part. Code 51 : a discipline, whose name and entry number (e. g. 04567) in this 0-Series are given, which is a part of this discipline. 5. 1 . 2 Inter-disciplinary relationships Code 56: a discipline, whose name and entry number (e .g. 01 299) in this 0-Series are given, to which this discipline is rel ated 5 . 2 To entries in other series Code 70: an international organization, whose name and entry number (e.g. A2 121 ) in the A-Series are given, which is ex'plicitly concerned with this discipline (possibly as an academ ic society) · Code 71 · an occupation or profession, whose name and entry number (e.g. J 1233) in the J-Series are given, which is the major user of this discipline Code 78: a human development concept. whose name and entry number (e.g. H01 45) in the H-Series are given, which is a concern of this discipline Code 79: an integrative concept, whose name and entry number (e .g. K032 1) in the K-Series are given, which is a concern of this discipline. INTRODUCTION lntent1.
