Symbols in Society
By
HUGH DALZIEL DUNCAN,
Southern Illinois University.
Communication's
function in the creation of order, disorder, and counter order in human relation–
ships is investigated at the level of symbolic interaction in this original and
stimulating critical and interpretive work. Dr. Duncan advances a number of
propositions leading toward a sociological model of communication. "It is a
work of remarkable insight and opens up a field which has been too much
neglected by the sociologists."-KENNETH E. BOULDING, University of Colorado

The World Educational Crisis
A SYSTEMS ANALYSIS
By
PHILIP H . COOMBS. "A provocative analysis of the crisis resulting from
education's inability to match performance with expectations. His book should be
required reading."- JAMEs A. PERKIN S, President, Cornel1 University. "Philip
Coombs has made an outstanding contribution to the discussion of this important
problem area by providing a framework of analysis which not only raises most of
the key issues but has the great merit of putting them into a systems perspective
that suggests their inter-relationships with each other and with the rest of the
social-economic-political environment."-EuGENE STALEY, Stanford University

The Dynamics of Literary Response
By
NORMAN N. HOLLAND,
State University of New York at Buffalo.
"The
most systematic and detailed of all attempts to put literary criticism on psycho–
analytic grounds. The book is lucid, patient, and ingratiating without any sacrifice
of theoretical rigor. I believe it wil1 come to be recognized as the indispensabl e
reference point for future discussion of the subject it treats."- FREDERICK CREWS,
University of California, Berkeley
