From the dj: 'Not since 1929 has America witnessed as dramatic a concentration of wealth in the hands of a very few as is now occurring in our country This concentration has reached the point where more than a third of the nation's wealth is held by just one percent of the population. . . Vance Packard, an author who is internationally recognized for his provocative investigations of trends in modern society, seeks answers to these questions by interviewing thirty men and women with an average net worth of $330 million. Those he spoke with include Leonard Shoen, founder of U-Haul, June Hunt, evangelist daughter of H.L. Hunt, Edward Bass, venture capitalist, and Laszlo Tauber, a surgeon, . . . Packard's interviews and his wider research thus ultimately lead him to a unique and powerfully reasoned prescription for change inour reward system.' . more information

"Prepared under the auspices of the Program for Humanities in Medicine, Yale University School of Medicine and the Goethe-Institut, Boston." 212 pages, illustrations, cloth, dj, very good. From the dj: We have learned a great deal in recent years about keeping death at bay through medical technology. We are less well informed however about how to face death and how to understand or articulate the emotional and spiritual needs of the dying. This profound and eloquent book brings together medical experts and distinguished authorities in the humanities to reflect on medical cultural, and religious responses to death. The book helps both medical personnel and patients to view death less as an adversary and more as a defining part of life. . more information

From the Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition: " William Graham Sumner, 1840-1910, American sociologist and political economist, b. Paterson, N. J. , grad. Yale, 1863, and studied in Germany, in Switzerland, and at Oxford. He was ordained an Episcopal minister and from 1872 was professor of political and social science at Yale. In economics he advocated a policy of extreme laissez-faire, strongly opposing any government measures that he thought interfered with the natural economics of trade. As a sociologist he did valuable work in charting the evolution of human customs-folkways and mores. He concluded that the power of these forces, developed in the course of human evolution, rendered useless any attempts at social reform. He also originated the concept of ethnocentrism, a term now commonly used, to designate attitudes of superiority about one's own group in comparison with others. His major work was Folkways (1907). The massive Science of Society by Sumner and Albert G. Keller, a colleague, was not completed and published until 1927." SR1422B; Ex-Library; 692 pages . more information

From the dust jacket: "Research on the frontiers of urban studies was the subject of a conference on 19th century cities held in November 1968 at Yale University. These papers from the conference attempt to define what is coming to be known as the 'new urban history. ' The cities studied range from small communities - such as Springfield, Massachusetts, and Poughkeepsie, New York - to giants like Philadelphia, Chicago and Boston. While the majority of the contributions deal with American cities, four essays examine cities in Canada, England, France, and Colombia. The studies focus on the dimensions of mobility and stability in the social structure of 19th century cities.
