Originally published in French as "Le Suicide" in 1897. ***Near fine in dark-green cloth-covered boards with gilt titles and publisher's device to the spine. The boards are clean and unmarked. Head and tail of spine just slightly creased. Corners sharp. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Slight marks to the fore-edge of the page block. Internally also near fine, with two ownership names on the front free endpaper. Interior pages clean with no creases or tears. ***In a very good typographically printed dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped but has an additional publisher's 30/- net price sticker on the front flap. The dustwrapper is complete, with just slivers of loss at the head and tail of the spine and corner tips. Some slight creasing to the head and tail of the spine and extremities. No tears or chips. Dustwrapper nice and clean (please see scans). ***223mm x150mm. 404 pages including a detailed Index, plus a 16pp publisher's catalogue for The International Library of Sociology and Social Reconstruction at the back of the book. ***'David Émile Durkheim (15 Apr 1858 - 15 Nov 1917) was a French sociologist. Durkheim formally established the academic discipline of sociology and is commonly cited as one of the principal architects of modern social science, along with both Karl Marx and Max Weber. Much of Durkheim's work was concerned with how societies can maintain their integrity and coherence in modernity, an era in which traditional social and religious ties are much less universal, and in which new social institutions have come into being. Durkheim's conception of the scientific study of society laid the groundwork for modern sociology, and he used such scientific tools as statistics, surveys, and historical observation in his analysis of suicides in Catholic and Protestant groups. Durkheim's first major sociological work was "De la division du travail social" (The Division of Labour in Society) (1893); followed in 1895 by "Les Règles de la méthode sociologique" (The Rules of Sociological Method). Also in 1895 Durkheim set up the first European department of sociology and became France's first professor of sociology. Durkheim's seminal monograph, "Le Suicide" (1897), a study of suicide rates in Catholic and Protestant populations, pioneered modern social research, serving to distinguish social science from psychology and political philosophy.' (Wiki) ***'How can difference in the rate of suicide be explained? It was always possible to explain the incidence of suicide--why one person rather than another committed it--but the problem of why one country has a higher rate of suicide per thousand of the population than another, why one social class or religious group has a higher rate than another, was never adequately explained before Durkheim wrote his book. It was perhaps his most important work, serving for successive generations as a model in social theory. Its influence on the social sciences has increased with years.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***First impression of the first UK edition - extremely hard to find now in the original dustwrapper. A scarce title in first edition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
