Designed To Live In (Routledge Revivals)

by Elisabeth Beazley

Originally published in 1962, this book traces the main influences behind modern design in domestic architecture. It does so against the context of the effect each new dwelling has on its environment and the effect its design has on those in the surrounding (and often older, historic) housing stock. Diverse influences such as the bye-law street and Le Corbusier’s Ville Radieuse are discussed, while the ideas bearing on the individual private house range from those of the early nineteenth century villa builders to Frank Lloyd Wright’s prairie houses and the work of Mies van der Rohe. The book closes with a detailed discussion of the problems and possibilities of domestic design in house-building in the late 20th Century

Die Entwicklungsgebiete im Rahmen der OEEC und ihre Förderung (Forschungsberichte des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen #1071)

by Hans Evers

Die Bearbeitung des Manuskripts wurde Ende 1960 abgeschlossen. Einige damals bevorstehende Änderungen organisatorischer Art, insbesondere die Umwandlung der OEEC in die OECD, sind inzwischen verwirklicht worden. Die für die Berichterstattung gewählte Zeitform wurde dem tatsächlichen Bearbeitungsstadium angepaßt, sie entspricht deshalb nicht immer dem gegen­ wärtigen Stand der Entwicklung. Die sachliche Bedeutung der Ausführungen wird hierdurch nicht beeinflußt.

Living with Mental Illness: A Study in East London (Routledge Revivals)

by Enid Mills

The Mental Health Act of 1959 marked a turning point in national policy on mental illness. Originally published in 1962, this book reports a sociological survey of a group of people from an East London borough who entered a large mental hospital in 1956 and 1957, at the very time when a Royal Commission was preparing the report upon which the new legislation was based. Living with Mental Illness shows what happened to these mental patients and to their relatives, and tells of their reactions and impressions. The impact of mental illness on their domestic and social circumstances is described, as is the part played in their lives by the social services; and the relationship between people’s perceptions of mental illness and their attitudes to hospital is discussed. Enid Mills considers the prospects for ‘community care’ of the mentally ill in the borough studied, and concludes, as Professor Morris Carstairs says in his Foreword, with ‘a review of the difficulties which must be overcome if the transition is to be effected from an outmoded, remote mental hospital system to a community-based service which will be at once efficient and humane’.

Married Women Working (Selected Works of Pearl Jephcott: Social Issues and Social Research)

by Pearl Jephcott

In the 1950s heated views were sometimes expressed about the alleged social results of married women going out to work. Originally published in 1962 Married Women Working attempts to examine the question objectively. It is based on two studies undertaken over a period of nearly five years in a solidly working-class London district – one, a detailed study in the factory of a well-known firm of biscuit makers (Peek Freans) relying mainly on married women workers; the other, a more general one, in the surrounding borough as a whole. How effective was the married woman as an employee? How did the firm cope with their new type of labour and with what results? What was the effect on the woman herself, and on her family, of her attempt to fill the dual role of home-maker and paid worker? These are some of the questions examined in this book, which also gives a very fascinating picture of how people lived at the time, against the background of earlier generations.

Marsh Dwellers of the Euphrates Delta (LSE Monographs on Social Anthropology)

by S. M. Salim

Dr Salim, of Bagdad University, spent two years amongst the remarkable tribal peoples who inhabit the great marshes of the lower Euphrates. He describes their social and economic organization and discusses on the one hand the process by which people with bedouin traditions and values have adapted themselves to different and difficult conditions, and on the other the effects upon them of submission to the central government and the modernisation of their modes of life that has resulted from it. His account offers a fascinating study of people living in an unusual environment, and will be of value to the anthropologist and ethnologist for its precise ethnography. At the same time, as one of the few detailed studies of the changes now being wrought on such a large scale by modern economic and political forces, it has real importance for the general student of contemporary Middle Eastern affairs.

The Other 23 Hours: Child Care Work with Emotionally Disturbed Children in a Therapeutic Milieu

by Larry Brendtro

Among other revolutionary developments of today's world is the so-called "knowledge explosion". So much is being written so fast about so many things that it is becoming well-nigh ir--retrievable. One consequently can never be sure that he knows what there is to know about many kinds of phenomena or types of problems existing in the modern world due to the chance that something exists in written form that simply cannot be found, so bulky is the load of literature. The common idea that only the sick child, and never the well, needs special emotional supports and helps from the adult is simply an error. For the well child is not immune from pile-ups of severe emotional intensity when overwhelmed by confusion and conflicts from within. Certainly, the normal kid can be ex--pected to handle such crises either from within or without better than his sick peer on the average, but that does not mean always; and the critical issue for the well child is: is he ready at the time they hit? If not, he needs, quite unmistakably, emotional first aid from the adult - parent, teacher, camp counsellor (or what have you) - who is in charge of his life at that moment. The reader will find that what the authors describe in The Other 23 Hours as the everyday requirement diet, as far as child handling is concerned for their disturbed children, is transferable to the normal crises of normal child--hood.

Sex in Marriage: New Understandings (Routledge Revivals)

by Dorothy Walter Baruch Hyman Miller

First Published in 1963, Sex in Marriage presents down to earth, practical guidance on the emotional and physical aspects of life, love and marriage. The authors both experienced psychotherapists, have felt that a new approach was needed. The book explains in a straightforward and thorough manner the sources of satisfaction and the roots of discontent that lie beneath the surface of any marriage. It traces marriage from the beginning, through its middle years and into its older stages, including considerations that are concrete and practical but still have a fundamental and sound emotional base. The book illustrates how attitudes in sex and marriage go back to childhood and how early experiences, though forgotten, can still exercise important influences. In helping to alleviate old guilts and anxieties, the book makes an essential contribution. This is an interesting read for sociologists, psychologists and for general readers.

Voices of Man: The Meaning and Function of Language (World Perspectives #8)

by Mario Pei

Originally published in 1964, this book examines where and how the pattern and texture of speech emerged and whether language is logical. It looks at linguistics from both the historical and descriptive points of view, as a physical science and as a social science. It also discusses the problem of aesthetics in language and what happens when different languages come into contact with each other. The book concludes with a discussion of the possibility of an international language, and indeed whether such a development would be progress or something that is needed or wanted.

Building by Local Authorities: The Report of an Inquiry by the Royal Institute of Public Administration

by Elizabeth Layton

Originally published in 1961, is the report into an investigation of the forms of organization used by local authorities of many varied types, populations and areas for the design and erection of new buildings and the maintenance of existing ones. It discusses the relations between Government departments and local authorities in the control of building design, standards and costs and the part played by Council committees in the control of building operations; it examines the division of functions between Chief Officers responsible for different aspects of building work (architects, engineers, surveyors and housing managers) and studies the use made of private architects and surveyors as well as the scope and organization of direct labour in local authority building.

Does Pornography Matter? (Routledge Revivals)

by C. H. Rolph

First published in 1961, Does Pornography Matter? consists of chapters written by seven men who were likely to have different points of view, and who would write with authority from the interest they represented. There was no assumption behind the question, and in fact each author has concluded that in one way or another pornography does matter. It was felt, as a start, that to judge whether this or that book was obscene, or a ‘masterpiece’, was not central to the problem. The purpose of the editor was to ask the right question, which is whether pornography matters. The result is a fascinating analysis and some suggestions towards a complete answer. This book will be of interest to students of sociology, religion and psychology.
