Description: Parkinson's Law by C. Northcote Parkinson (1964, Vintage Paperback) Humor is a vintage paperback in good condition with tight binding, clean pages with no writing but they are tan with age and some shelf wear as well. Item Description: Parkinson's Law states that 'work expands to fill the time available'. While strenuously denied by management consultants, bureaucrats and efficiency experts, the law is borne out by disinterested observation of any organization. The book goes far beyond its famous theorem, though. The author goes on to explain how to meet the most important people at a social gathering and why, as a matter of mathematical certainty, the time spent debating an issue is inversely proportional to its objective importance. Justly famous for more than forty years, Parkinson's Law is at once a bracingly cynical primer on the reality of human organization, and an inoculation against the willful optimism to which we as a species are prone. ~~ Please look at all photos as they are the best depiction of the item~~ ~This item has always been in a non smoking, pet free home. ~Packed with care (we always add extra protection to ensure your books arrive in great condition!) and shipped within 24 hrs. of payment with USPS Media Mail.
