The Academic Personnel VI. The Portion of the Scientist VII. Vocational Training VIII. Summary and Trial Balance IndexReviewsRichard F. Teichgraeber III (a professor of history at Tulane University), has prepared what's bound to remain the standard edition of the text for a long time to come. His extensive yet unobtrusive notes 'identify-when identification proved possible-events, institutions, persons and publications alluded to or mentioned,' and he glosses the literary quotations and biblical references embedded in Veblen's wild and sometimes woolly prose. The timeline of Veblen's life and the recommended-readings list benefit from the past three decades of Veblen scholarship. -- Scott McLemee Inside Higher Ed Author InformationAuthor Website: http://history.tulane.edu/web/people.asp?id=RirchardTeichgraeber.txtOne of the most influential social scientists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, Thorstein Veblen (1857-1929) wrote numerous books, including The Theory of the Leisure Class: An Economic Study in the Evolution of Institutions and The Instinct of Workmanship: And the State of the Industrial Arts.
