Vanecko, James J

Originally published by Abt Books in 1980, this book brings together most of Daniel Bell's best work in his second career as a sociologist. The essays deal with a diverse range of topics including technology and culture, religion and personal identity, the intellectual and society, and the validity of the concept of class.

The Winding Passage : Essays and Sociological Journeys, 1960-1980

Bell, Daniel

Originally published by Abt Books in 1980, this volume is the first of its kind to give economic insight into cultural policy studies. Among the vital questions addressed: How effective is public funding for the arts? How might arts programs be evaluated? How can the economist's view be broadened and the artist's view be made more utilitarian, so that arts production can reach the consumer in a meaningful way? To what extent is the relationship of fine arts to graphic arts similar to that of basic scientific research to applied research?

<p>...this collection is a set of drawings by the author, depicting the humanity that persists through old age until death. Through Images of Age, we have the opportunity, as observers in the artistic process, to confront the difficult feeling associated with old age, thereby expanding our humanity and capacity to care. A beautiful and sensitive volume for all concerned with the elderly and the problems of aging.</p>

This 1981 Abt Books publication is the most comprehensive study to date on social research methods and findings relevant to disaster response. Included are presentations and discussions of two studies undertaken by the Social and Demographic Research Institute between 1976 and 1979, one focused on the long-term effects of natural hazards on American communities and the other examining the state and local politics of natural hazard issues. Also included are assessments of the major disaster research studies conducted over the last 30 years.
