This is an expanded second edition of a well-established introduction to the role and importance of race and ethnicity in contemporary British society, relevant to students of sociology and many other disciplines.

Hardcover. xi, [1], 447 p.; front. (port.); 24 cm. -- Archaeologist in the Oriental Seminary of Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore. "Bright recalled Albright as "essentially a serious-minded man, not given to wisecracks and banter. But he had quite a fund of supposedly true anec- dotes. The classic among these is surely the incident of the lizard soup in 1932. Albright paid some of the Arab potsherd boys to catch a couple of the lizards that swarmed all over the place. Nelson Glueck was to conceal one of the (now deceased) lizards on his person, and during the soup course surreptitiously slip it into his soup. Glueck played his part masterfully, pulling out the lizard with a roar of shocked surprise and looking as if he were going to be ill. Albright shouted with well simulated anger, `I told that cook never to make that lizard soup again!'" (162) -- "He could pick up two or three [potsherds] and then knew just about when the particular layer in which they were found could be dated." (159) -- "His experience in Palestinian archaeology was one that few people until now,when the Israelis .can do this work, could have; he had the experience in the early times of being there personally and seeing everything." (p. 411) -- "There was never any precise line at which one could say, `Oh, Prof. Albright would not be interested in that.' He was, perhaps, the last example we shall see in this century in the United States of a Renaissance man." (427) -- "Because he was not working for his own honor but only to find the truth, and served only that one mistress, truth, he could afford to change his mind when more evidence came to light." (p. 434) -- ".he quoted Alexandre Vinet in French --`The truth, without the search for truth, is only half the truth.' (50) VG blue boards edgeworn illus. dj.…

Trade paperback. Zustand: Fair. 407, [1] pages. Footnotes. Illustrations. Appendices. Selected Bibliography. Glossary. Index. Signed by author on title page. Cover is worn, soiled, torn and chipped. Derived from a Kirkus review: Armed with a knowledge of Russian and a medical degree, William Knaus accompanied an American exhibit on Outdoor Recreation on its lengthy Russian tour. As a result of firsthand travel to remote parts, as well as ongoing study, interviews, and negotiations for joint research ventures, Knaus is extraordinarily knowledgeable about medicine in the Soviet Union. The book opens with a real cliffhanger: the dramatic fight for life of a young American guide who underwent surgery for internal bleeding in Irkutsk. The story ends happily when the Russians, in an unprecedented gesture of compassion, allow a US plane to fly across Russia to evacuate the patient. Knaus conveys an openness and warmth that seem to have elicited a corresponding directness and empathy from those he interviewed. It may be well known that Russia produces an enormous number of doctors, that medical care is free, and that all workers are entitled to 24 days of rest at workers' sanitoria. The book is an extremely vivid and valuable assemblage of observations and fact. First Printing thus [Stated] Originally published by Everest House in 1981.…

Hardcover. xiii, [1], 348 p. Illustrations. Tables. Sources. Notes. Bibliography. Index. This work is the first full-scale study in English of what was then the fifth largest Jewish community in the world. It is a compelling account of a community pursuing its destine in a land that had displayed both hospitality and hatred toward Jews. The author traces the development of this community from its colonial origins through the nineteenth and twentieth century waves of immigration and addresses the situation where half of the then recorded acts of anti-Semitism worldwide were reported in Argentina.
