New York: E.P. Dutton & Co., Inc., 1946.. 1946.. Very good. FIRST EDITION INSCRIBED & SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR - Octavo, charcoal cloth titled in gilt on the spine in a printed green dust wrapper. The covers are slightly soiled and bumped at the corners and the dust jacket is rubbed and soiled along the extremities, with several small chips to the edges. 251 pages. The endpapers are darkened at the edges. Very good in a good dw. <p>First edition. Inscribed and signed by Robert Ulich on the front endpaper.<p>"Tracing the pattern of modern living back through the history of civilization, the author shows how society changed from a compound of conflicting elements into a medieval harmonization of parts, and then decayed into modernism. This decay is illustrated by the deliberate lowering of modern standards of mass entertainment forms, the modern philosophy of education pressing all men into a single mold and the one-sidedness of character resulting from over-specialization of skills and learning...." -- Excerpted from the dw blurb.
