Hi all, still one more problem. I am submitting an article to a journal which requires whole names of the writers in the reference list. I mention there the first publication of PCT:
Powers, William T.; Clark, Robert; McFarland, R. 1960 A general feedback theory of human behavior. In: von Bertalanffy, Ludvig.; Rapoport, Anatol. (eds.)
General systems: Yearbook of the society for general systems research, 5.
Michigan: Society for General Systems Research, 63-83.
(actually this is not the first one but a reprint in the same year, but I just found it simpler to refer to this as if just one publication instead of two original articles.)
Kent remembered that R. Clark is Robert, but what is the first name of R. McFarland?
