Lyndon Johnson, The Tragic Self: A Psychohistorical Portrait
The Manipulators: Personality and Politics in Multiple Perspectives
There is more than One Way to be Redundant: A Comparison of Alternatives for the Design and Use of Redundancy in Organizations
This article extends Landau's work on redundancy in organizations. Three basic and two hybrid approaches to redundancy are described and compared.
