Socialism
The science of criminology has been revolutionized within one
generation by the Socialist students of Italy, of whom Ferri is the
most prominent living representative. This book is indispensable to
any one desiring reliable information on the modern theory of crime
and its treatment.
13. +The World's Revolutions.+ By Ernest Untermann. Cloth, 50 cents.
A study of the economic causes of the great revolutions of the
world's history in the light of the Socialist principle of
historical materialism.
14. +The Socialists, Who They Are and What They Seek to Accomplish.+ By
John Spargo. Cloth, 50 cents.
Scientific yet readable and easy; written in a style that the man
in the street will understand and the man in the university will
admire. Just the book to start a new reader.
15. +Social and Philosophical Studies.+ By Paul Lafargue. Translated by
Charles H. Kerr. In Preparation.
This book will contain two studies entirely new to American
readers, "Causes of Belief in God," and "The Origin of Abstract
Ideas." It will also contain several studies reprinted from the
International Socialist Review. Lafargue's brilliant style makes
even the most abstract subjects delightful.
LIBRARY OF SCIENCE FOR THE WORKERS.
Modern International Socialism is directly related to modern science. It
is in a sense the evolution theory applied to the facts of society. It,
therefore, follows that for a full understanding of socialism some
general knowledge of the facts of modern science is necessary.
A new series of books has lately appeared in Germany which give in
simple and popular form complete proofs of the evolution theory along
with a clear account of the latest applications of this theory in the
various fields of modern science. We have arranged to translate and
publish some of the best of these, along with such original works in the
same line as are available. They are uniform in size with the Standard
Socialist Series.
1. +The Evolution of Man.+ By Wilhelm Boelsche. Translated by Ernest
Untermann. Cloth, 50 cents.
"The Evolution of Man" tells in full detail, in a clear, simple
style, illustrated by pictures, just how the descent of man can be
traced back through monkeys, marsupials, amphibians, fishes, worms
and lower forms of life, down to the animals composed each of a
single cell. Moreover, it proves that there is no such fixed line
as was formerly thought to exist between the organic and the
inorganic, but that the same life-force molds the crystal that
molds the cell. It is not only simple; it is up-to-date and gives
the latest discoveries in science. It is _the_ book on the subject.
2. +Germs of Mind in Plants.+ By R. H. France. Translated by A. M. Simons.
Cloth, illustrated, 50 cents.
