Backgrounds of Power

by Roger Burlingame

From the preface: This book is intended for those who are more interested in people than in machines. There is an alarming increase in the number of contrary-minded folk who may become, without meaning to be, a menace to society. The fascination of mechanical processes and sequences, of the new applications of chemistry and electronics, is so great that these things are becoming ends in themselves rather than means to human happiness in the minds of too many men and women.
