In this path-breaking new work, a distinguished political scientist and former State Dpartment official presents the evidence for this important and little-noted chage in the way nations behave today, and assesses its implications for peace in the nuclear age. He explores the reasons for the emergence of the territorial state during the seveteenth and eighteenth centuries and shows why recent economic and political changes have compelled nations to become trading states in the twentieth century.".

From the foreword by Rhys Carpenter: "As the reader very presently discovers, the more homely occupation of the Spinner in the title of this volume outshadows the famous marble goddess who has lent her name to Dr. Suhr's unusual study in cosmic symbolism. Beginning in Mesopotamia, in Ur of the Chaldees, and ending in Hellenistic Greece, and concurrently commencing in heaven with the far-cast shadow of the moon and terminating on earth with the broken arms of the marble statue in the Louvre, Dr. Suhr has spun a thread of discourse as remarkable as any Sumerian or Hellenic spindle ever turned." Briefly, then, Suhr concludes that the statue represents Aphrodite "in the attitude--but without the implements--of a woman spinning flax or wool." Shipping weight 1 lb.. First Edition. .
