Industrial Organization
BEHAVIOUR AND CONTROL
Edited by
JOAN WOODWARD,
Imperial College of Science and Technology,
London.
A current generalization of industrial sociology is that the organizational
structure and processes of a manufacturing finn are causally related to its tech–
nology. This book, a sequel to the editor's own INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATION:
THEORY AND PRACTICE, examines this idea
in
seven case studies of differing
industrial organizations, as conducted by research workers sponsored by the
Imperial College, London.

1!he Growth of
White..Collar Unionism
By
GEORGE SAYERS BAIN,
Nuffield College, Oxford.
The growth of the
white-collar labor force is one of the most outstanding characteristics of the
econOInic and social development of this century, with the number of these
workers increasing in every major industrial country. To continue to play an
effective role in the industrial relations system, the author contends, the trade
union movement must recruit this category of workers.

Victorian Quakers
By
ELIZABETH ISICHEI,
Nuffield College, Oxford.
In some sections of Vic–
torian English society, religion was an important determinant of conduct, and
philanthropy was one of the chief channels of social action. This book provides
a definitive portrait of a small church whose importance in Victorian England
was disproportionate to its size, especially with regard to its part in the spheres
of industry and philanthropy.

The Catalogue of the Ships
in Homer's Iliad

LAZENBY,
University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
Recent excavation and research
justifies this new discussion of the old question of how well the
Catalogue
reflects
conditions in Mycenaean Greece. Each place listed in the
Catalogue
is here
examined, with particular reference to this question. There is also a brief discus–
sion of the Homeric poems as an embodiment of Mycenaean tradition.
