This collection of essays celebrates the career achievements, research interests, and intellectual impact of Derek Pugh on the occasion of his retirement from active duty in our field. While Pugh's first publication was in 1954 and his most recent in 1997, he inevitably will be best remembered as the organizer, mentor, lead author, and team captain of the Aston group. At a time when organization-level research was almost unheard of in Britain, Pugh and his colleagues designed and implemented the first empirical study of structure in a large sample of organizations. A discussion of this agenda appeared in ASQ in 1963, followed by a flurry of five ASQ papers over a period of eighteen months at the end of the decade. Since that time, the Aston colleagues dispersed around the globe, Pugh became Britain's first Professor of Organizational Behaviour, and introductory courses in our field have never been the same.The essays in this volume, organized and introduced by editor Timothy Clark, fall into four sections, each representing a major phase of Pugh's ever-evolving interest in organization. All the contributors are either former colleagues or collaborators, and many of the essays have an intimate, fireside-chat feel that captures, perhaps, the comfort in the authors' intellectual interaction with their friend. The first section, devoted to Aston and its legacy, will perhaps be most valuable to readers interested in the historical development of our field. Three essays in this vein, those by Hickson, Child, and Donaldson, explore this theme from different vantage points. Hickson's essay is a memoir of "the ivory tower in a basement," a humorous and revealing account of what it was like to work in the Aston team. Donaldson's essay evaluates the Aston contribution in light of the next thirty years of theory and research. Child's essay
