THE AUTHOR: is Professor of Social Administration, Yale University. (A chapter is written by Harrison, Roger, Assistant Professor of Industrial Administration, Yale University). THE BOOK: describes processes whereby a successful change was brought about in the behaviour of top executives. On a conceptual level it integrates the theory of interpersonal relations with laboratory education, and constructs a model that attempts to relate interpersonal competence and organizational effeciveness. The model is used as a basis for diagnosing organizational effect- iveness, and for planning and administering the change program and evaluating its results. The book is dividced into four parts. Part I sets out the basic theoretical framework, which is then interpreted in terms of a model. In part 11 the model is used to diagnose the effectiveness of a top-management team (the president and his immediate subordinates in one division of a large- scale business enterprise). The model accurately predicts, and observation confirms, that an exe- cutive's low interpersonal competence acts to decrease his own and the organization's effect- iveness. The diagnosis is fed back to the executives and their reactions are recorded in detail Part III discusses the philosophy informing the laboratory program and describes its structure and mode of operation. Exeamp es of actual T-Group experiences are provided. The final section of the book contains an evaluation of the program and assesses its impact on experimental and control groups, as well as on other parts of the organization. CONTENTS: Introduction. Part I. Theory and Models: The nature of interpersonal relations and formal organizatioiis - Interpersonal competence and organizational effectiveness. Part II. Diagnosis and Feedback: The diagnosis of the top executive system - The diagnosis of the exe- cutive system - The feedback of the results. Part Ill. The Laboratory Program: The nature of laboratory education - Interpersonal authenticity and the T-Group - The T-Group: Examples of Major Themes - Organizational Diagnostic Sessions. Part IV. Evaluation and Conclusions: The impact of the laboratory on the organization - Impact of the laboratory on perceptions of others by the experimental group - Conclusions. Index.

BROWN, ROBERT: Explanation in Social Science. Routledge and Kegan Paul, London, 1963. 198 pages.
THE AUTHOR: took a degree in anthropology at the University of New Mexico and did field studies amongst American Indians before taking up graduate work in anthropology and philo- sophy at the niversity of Chicago. From 1948 to 1 952 he worked on his doctorate in philosophy at University College, London, returning to the United States to lecture at universities in Cali- fornia and Wisconsin. Since 1956 he has been at the Australian National University, and is now a Fellow of its Institute of Advanced Studies.
THE BOOK: The explanations used by anthropologists, sociologists, political scientists, and economists are not all of the same type. Each type is discussed and examined in this book. The author explores the relations amongst these distinct types of explanation, and assesses the use fulness and limitations of each by means of a variety of examples from contemporary work n the social sciences. The important philosophical questions which arise from this exploration are examined by the author: he discusses the role in social explanation of such concepts as motives reasons, functions, and laws.

CRONER, Fritz: Soziologie der Angestellten. Kiepenheuer und Witsch, Koln - Berlin. 1962. 309 Seiten.
DER VERFASSER: Dr. rer. pol. habil, Stockholm.
DAS BUCH: Nachdem Emil Lederer im Jahre 1912 einen ersten Versuch unternommen hatte, die Stellung und kolle der Angestellten in der Gesellschaft darzustellen, vernachlassigte die Wissen- schaft nahezu vierzig Jahre die Probleme der gesellschaftlichen Stukturanderungen. Das anderte sich zu Beginn der zweiten Hdlfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. 1951 erschien in Schweden die erste Studie Prof. Croners Ober die Angestellten in der moderne Gesellschaft. In seinem neuen Werk beschreibt und analysiert der Verfasser, von einer offen dargelegten Wertung ausgehend, und nach ausdrucklicher Darlegung seiner Hypothese - seines theoretischen Modells - systematisch die Stellung der Angesteliten in der Struktur der Gesellschaft und die Ver- anderung dieser Stellung in der sich verdndernden Gesellschaftsstruktur.
INHALT: Vorwort - Einleitung. I. Die Struktur der Gesellschaft: Die Problemstellung - Struktur- theorien als Machttheorien - Soziologie des Prestiges' - Soziologie der Status-Symbole - Sozio- logie des Berufsprestiges' - Schlussfolgerungen. II. Was ist ein ,Angestellter": Die theoretische Entwicklung von Gustav Schmoller (1897) bis Roger Girod (1961) - Die Funktionstheorie - Die Delegationstheorie - Die Karriere. III. Die Angesteliten und die Automation: Die Automation und die koordinierenden Tdtigkeiten - Die Entwicklung der Werkmeisterstellung. IV. Die ,,Angestellten- Gesellschaft": In Zahlen. V.

GOULDNER, ALVIN W. and RICHARD A. PETERSON: Notes on Technology and the Moral Order.
The Bobbs-Merrill Company, Inc., New York. 1962. 96 pages. THE AUTHORS: Alvin W. Gouldner, Professor of Sociology, Washington University at St. Louis. Richard A. Peterson, University of Wisconsin. THE BOOK: The work reported here was conceived by the authors as part of an ongoing re- examination of functional social theory. As such, it is related to several other studies of function- alism which the senior author has previously published. The authors examine basic philosophic problems with the instruments of modern statistical ana- lysis. These problems are the factors that set the character of human action; the relative im- portance of the technological aspects of life as against the ethical. They first review broad theories dealing with the determinants of culture. These they divide fundamentally into two categories. The former are the monolithic theories, such as economic determinism, environ- mentalism, and the like, which the authors call 'single-factor determinism". The second are those theoretical orientations that lose all sense of causality in particulars. Among these latter are the currently popular functionalist theories, in which all things interrelate, but none is determine- ative. The authors seek a middle ground through the statistical technique of factor analysis. Working with ethnographic data from a sample of the world's societies, they extract several sets of traits by this statistical technique - traits which are highly intercorrelated and which appear to be in- fluential on other aspects of culture. Of the clusters they treat in detail with four. Two of them have to do with principles of the organization of society: lineality of descent, and male dominance. These they find relatively less important than the other two: the factor that they label 'technology", and the factor the label norm sending", by which they mean ethical orientation or ethos.

GUEST, ROBERT HENRY: Organizational Change. The effect of successful leadership. Tavistock Publications. 11 New Fetter Lane, London E C 4. 1962. 180 pages. 32 sh.
THE AUTHOR: is Professor of Business Administration at the Amos Tuck School of Business Ad- ministration, Dartmouth College.
THE BOOK: is a study based on research in a large industrial plant which over a period of three years measurably improved its performance following the appointment of a new manager. The data are derived from two series of interviews separated by a three-year gap among members at every level of the organization from plant foreman to high-level executive. The primary purpose of the volume is to explain, from a sociological point of view, the organizational strains leading to a condition of extreme dysfunction; The process over time by which tension and stress are reduced and performance improved; and the role of a new manager in initiating the change process.

HOMANS, GEORGE CASPAR: Sentiments and Activities. Essays in Social Science. Routledge and Kegan Paul, 68-74 Carter Lane, London E.C. 4. 1962. 326 pages. Cloth 32 sh.
THE AUTHOR: is Professor of Sociology at Harvard University and has also taught at Cambridge University. He is the author of 'The Human Group", 'Social Behaviour" and other books.
THE BOOK: brings together seventeen major essays covering the fields of history, anthropology, sociology, and psychology. In the field of anthropology the author discusses the relationships among anxiety, magic, and social organization. His conclusions take issue with Malinowski's and Radcliffe-Brown's theories of magic and show that these two theories actually complement one another. The second of the two anthropological essays, 'Marriage, Authority and Final Causes", is a classic previously published as a separate book that has loog been out of print. On sociology, the author discusses long-term strategy, the comparative advantages of field work and experimental and survey methods, the relationship between sociology and psychology in small-group research, and the basic nature of small-group research. Two shorter pieces are included, they were originally BBC broadcasts on the position of sociology in England and on the "organization man". CONTENTS: Autobiographical Introduction - The Small Warship - Status among Clerical Workers
The Cash Posters - Status Congruence - The Sociologist's Contribution to Management in the Future - Giving a Dog a Bad Name - Bureaucracy as Big Brother - Men and the Land in the Middle Ages - The Rural Sociology of Medieval England - The Frisians in East Anglia - The Puritans and the Clothing Industry in England - Anxiety and Ritual - The Theories of Malinowski and Radcliffe-Brown - Marriage, Authority, and Final Causes - A Study of Unilateral Cross-Cousin Marriage - The Strategy of Industrial Sociology - The Strategy of Small Group Resealch - Social Behavior as Exchange - Small Groups - Notes - Index.

THE AUTHOR: Ph.D., University of Ankara.
THE BOOK: attempts to depict the process of indepence in five countries (India, Pakistan, Indo- nesia, Ghana and Nigeria) as a succession of three stages each led by a particular 6lite group. These stages are the period of cultural questioning and reform, that of moderate political activity and finally that of the mobilisation of the masses which culminates in the acquisition of full sovereignty. These stages do not cover the same length of time in each country, and are sometimes telescoped as it were, but they do seem to appear with regularity in widely different backgrounds. CONTENTS: Foreword by A. H. Hanson. - Introduction. The General Background: The Use of the Term "Elites" - The Colonial Impact in General - Colonialism and the Traditional ,Elites". The Education of the Nationalist Elites: The Educational Impact in General - The Intellectual Formation of the Nationalist Elite - The Translation of Thought into Action.

THE AUTHOR: was educated at La Martineer College, Lucknow, at Lucknow University. At present he is Professor of Sociology and Director of the Institute of Social Sciences, Agra Uni- versity.
THE BOOK: is a study of the pattern of life among the people in Jaunsar-Bawar in the district of Dehra Dun. This study, made largely from the sociological point of view, throws considerable light on the practice of polyandry and its impact on the social economy of the people. Jaunsar-Bawar nestles among the lofty Himalayan terrains which have effectively shut it off from the influence of the outsidc world and has enabled it to preserve its distinct customs and traditions
evident in the forms of religious worship, social organisation, methods adopted in agriculture, trade and transport, and fairs and festivals.

ZETTERBERG, HANS L: Social Theory and Social Practice. The Bedminster Press, New York. 1962. 190 pages. Cloth 6,50 $.
THE AUTHOR: is a consulting sociologist in New York city and an Associate Professor of Sociology at Columbia University.
THE BOOK: signals the fact that we have now advanced so far that social scientists can give advice without conducting new original research. They can use previously proven theories as the basis for sound practical recommendations. The author gives a searching review of the various ways in which social practitioners attempt to use the accumulated knowledge of social science. He then proceeds to give a compact summary of the knowledpe of the academicians of social science. The process by which this knowledge is transformed into practical advice is spelled out in detail, and illustrated with examples from an actual consultation about problems faced by on art museum that wanted to increase its audience. The book rejects the widespread view that in order to put social science to use, we have to popularize its content. The author's opproach is rather to translate a client's problem into a theoretical statement, the solution to which is calculated and then presented to the client as down-to-earth advice.
