During the 1950s and 1960s political violence and disorder increased dramatically throughout the world. The causes of violence and instability in the developing countries of Asia, Africa, and Latin America, argues Samuel P. Huntington, are to be found in the lag in the development of viable political insittutions behind social and economic change. The author provides valuable insights on age-old problems of political change in both Western and non-Western societies. This book was written under the auspices of the Center for International Affairs, Harvard University; and delivered in part as the Henry L. Stimson Lectures at Yale University.

As teachers of architectural design, Kent Bloomer and Charles Moore have attempted to introduce architecture from the standpoint of how buildings are experienced, how the affect individuals and communities emotionally and provide us with a sense of joy, identity, and place. In giving priority to these issues and in questioning the professional reliance on abstract two-dimensional drawings, they often find themselves in conflict with a general and undebated assumption that architecture is a highly specialized system with a set of prescribed technical goals, rather than a sensual social art historically derived from experiences and memories of the human body. This book, an outgrowth of their joint teaching efforts, places the human body at the center of our understanding of architectural form. Body, Memory, and Architecture traces the significance of the body from its place as the divine organizing principle in the earliest built forms to its near elimination from architectural thought in this century. The authors draw on contemporary models of spatial perception as well as on body-image theory in arguing for a return of the body to its proper place in the architectural equation.
