Implications and outlook Appendix: On MethodReviewsReview of the first publication: ‘I recommend this book for a variety of reasons. For the field anthropologist it suggests lines of enquiry going beyond the apparent unanimity of judgements and reality. It provides excellent insights into such judgements in our own society. For those students of social anthropology who are obscurely perplexed by a lack of vocation where they most expected to find it this work should provide an arena for critical debate.’ — D. F. Pocock, Man, New Series Author InformationFred Blum was an American social scientist and the founder of The New Era Centre. He was born in Germany in 1914, emigrated to the US in 1938 where he became an American citizen and came to Britain in 1959 on behalf of the Society of Friends (Quakers) to study new developments in mental health and religion with special reference to the organization of industry. Fred taught economics at Howard University in Washington DC and was a professor of social sciences in Michigan and Minnesota. The US Senate appointed Fred advisor to the Labor and Welfare Committee, and he worked as a consultant for the young Senator John F Kennedy.
