First edition. Inscribed and signed by Robert Ulich on the front endpaper.

"Tracing the pattern of modern living back through the history of civilization, the author shows how society changed from a compound of conflicting elements into a medieval harmonization of parts, and then decayed into modernism. This decay is illustrated by the deliberate lowering of modern standards of mass entertainment forms, the modern philosophy of education pressing all men into a single mold and the one-sidedness of character resulting from over-specialization of skills and learning.." -- Excerpted from the dw blurb. Very good .
