Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes rural villages and their open-country counterparts, drawing from case studies in various nations to compare and contrast the social frameworks of these two neighborhood types. The author, who has lived and worked in both village and open-country environments, provides a unique perspective on the advantages and disadvantages of each. The book delves into the historical development of neighborhoods and explores themes such as cooperative character, primary group ideals, and the specialization of function among primary groups. It examines the effects of neighborhood organization on various aspects of rural life, including economic productivity, education, family life, and recreation. Ultimately, the book offers valuable insights into the factors that contribute to the success or failure of rural neighborhoods and provides practical suggestions for improving neighborhood organization.

First Edition. Sole edition. Octavo. Blue ribbed cloth, titled in black on spine and front cover; portrait frontispiece and nine inserted leaves of photographic plates (halftones). A tight, Near Fine copy in the original cloth. Terpenning, a Michigan-trained sociologist, traveled to Russia in 1918 as a representative of the Y.M.C.A. but found his work interrupted by the ongoing civil war. His memoir covers a period of about two years spent among peasants along the Onega River front, some hundred kilometers south of the city of Archangel. Terpenning's account of the Russian peasantry is largely anecdotal, with observations on local religious and cultural customs; two chapters include eye-witness accounts of military activities at the front, the steady advance of the Bolsheviki, and the retreat of the ANREF. Illustrated from original photographs by the author. Quite a nice copy of a scarce and early Russian Revolution-era memoir.…
