Abstract

The concept of Process is often used but seldom. This book looks at how a process differs from a succession of events, facts, or even just things changing. It delineates three kinds of process, or 'goings on' artificial, as in the building of a house; natural, as in physiological changes; and, social, as in human political activities.
