THE PROTESTANT AND POLITICS
|
|
|
Westminster: no date, ca. 1960 92 pages. "The fact is that religion is mixed up in politics in all kinds of ways, whether anyone likes it or not. How the Christian faith can raise the level of political activity in the United States is the author's highly important aim to show. Brilliantly he does show how the politically enlightened Christian fulfills the obligations of democratic citizenship, not in spite of religious belief, but inevitably more calmly, more open-mindedly, more constructively because of it."

THE OTHER AMERICANS. How Immigrants Renew Our Country, Our Economy, And Our Values
|
|
|
Viking: 1997 369 pages. "The discussion of immigration involves many different issues- everything from social statistics and economic models to political opinion on such matters as community values, human rights, and national security. For these and many more reasons there is no single "correct" way to frame the issue of American immigration. What this book does attempt to do is establish what aspect of immigration at the close of the immigration century constitutes the "crisis" generating so much rancor today, and to defuse the fear. The immigrants profiled in the following pages are largely newcomers from what was once known as the Third World- Latin Americans, East Asians, Caribbeans and Africans."

|
|
|
Norton: 1980 The first edition, 252 pages, illustrated. "We are a fat-obsessed society. Four out of every ten Americans are clinically overweight. Yet, despite this obsession with weight control, there is little serious discussion of the deeper meaning of obesity.

WALKING TO WORK. Tramps In America, 1790-1935
|
|
|
University of Nebraska: , 1984. 253 pages. "Employing a wide range of previously unused sources, the eight essays in this book deromanticize the tramping phenomenon by identifying its economic causes; by examining the ethnic, demographic, and personal characteristics of the seemly anonymous tramp population; and by examining the links between tramps and social organizations, including trade unions and charity groups. The resulting composite picture is a complex portrait of an often misunderstood social class." FINE HARDCOVER, FINE DUST JACKET.. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. more information

|
|
|
Harper & Row: 1987 The first printing, 197 pages.

He uses the ancient image of a ladder to illustrate and refute the claim of modern developmental theory that individuals develop hierarchically, maintaining the question of human development must be open to many different contributions, including feminism and ecology, and that it must rely on rather on new images that seek to encompass, rather than transcend, the human senses." .
