Having a collection of my papers published is a most welcome way of summing up my career to date and of providing me with the impetus and motivation to carry on being academically productive. I should say ‚careers‘ as my working life has spanned three main phases: full-time researcher, working with Gordon Pask [1968 - 1978], schoolteacher and educational psychologist [1979 - 1990], educational technologist working in higher education [1990 - 2010]. The one common thread that runs through all the chapters in this volume is my love of cybernetics. My first encounters with that discipline transformed my way of thinking and, bit by bit, cybernetics also transformed my way of being in the world. Bernard Scott Scott worked for many years with Gordon Pask, but remained largely in his shadow. This book shows how wrong it is to consider him only as Pask´s side-kick. It presents his retelling of work he did with Pask, and work he has done since. His own solo work demonstrates how significant a contributor he was to Pask and how his [Scott´s] understandings have their own value, which is sometimes, but only sometimes, placed in the service of Pask. This collection of papers allows Scott to enter centre stage, and reveals to us something of the mind of Bernard Scott, no longer cast in the role of the Ghost! It is a wonderful collection. Each paper is a gem, showing the mind of an exceptionally decent and gifted academic behaving - and thinking - with fairness and flair. I hope that each reader will enjoy, and benefit from it, as much as I have.
