cover design by Carl Smith, designed by Larry Camp. An Original Meridian Book, M137. 18 essays with some additional introductory material. - Salomon was an editor of the journal Die Gesellschaft in its best years at the end of the Weimar Republic, then an influential historian of sociology at the New School for Social Research. Despite his importance in transferring German sociological thought to the US, and a few efforts to revive interest from Konstanz, his work is neglected. The essay on Symbols and Images also demonstrates strong interest in Durkheim, Mauss, Halbwachs and praise for the similarly neglected Abraham Heschel, whose The Sabbath (1951) "has made a remarkable contribution to the time element in Jewish thinking" (254). **Deutsches Konto vorhanden.

Eric,Brian;Marie,Jaisson: The Descent of Human Sex Ratio at Birth A Dialogue between Mathematics, Biology and Sociology, Springer-Verlag GmbH, Juli 2007 ISBN: 1402060351
Since the 18th century, one phenomenon, the proportion of the sexes at birth among human beings, has contributed to various developments such as the calculus of probabilities, administrative statistics, the moral and social sciences, the statistics of variability, post-Darwinian biology and Durkheimian sociology. This fact is brought to the critical attention of readers who rarely work together -- mathematicians, biologists, historians, social scientists and historians of the sciences -- along a three centuries European journey, meeting Süssmilch, Condorcet, Laplace, Fourier, Girou de Buzareingues, Poisson, Quetelet, Darwin, Düsing, Gini, Halbwachs or Fisher.After a deconstruction of the past and present conditions of scientific understanding of human sex-ratio at birth, the authors are proposing a reconstruction of the dynamics of the phenomenon based on stochastics. This is an attempt in renewing our links with the oldest traditions of scholarly thinking, but too a kind of well-tempered reflexivity in today's work of objectivization.Appendixes get to the reader the first expression of a trend of the sex ratio at birth to adjust towards balance between the sexes by Condorcet in 1793-1794 ; a comparison of passages that Darwin devoted in 1871 and 1874 to similar issues ; and a sociological attempt of Halbwachs published in 1933.

How do we use our mental images of the present to reconstruct our past? Maurice Halbwachs (1877-1945) addressed this question for the first time in his work on collective memory, which...
