Rolph; Julian Huxley; Mary Stocks; Bertrand Russell; A. S. Parkes; Jacquetta Hawkes; Michael Young and Peter Willmott; Edward Blishen; J. M. Mackintosh; James Lansdale Hodson; Sherwin Bailey. SYNOPSIS: The Human Sum is of great social importance and compelling general interest. For the world's collective problems may usefully be viewed as the individual family's problems, and here is an examination into the very latest developments and changes in the structure of family life. C. H. Rolph has arranged a formidable collection of opinion. Julian Huxley reports a recent world tour; Bertrand Russell examines the question of over-population and war; Jacquetta Hawkes writes of the history of the family as a social formation; there is an article on birth control by Dr. A. S. Parkes of the National Institute for Medical Research, and a revealing evaluation by Dr. Sherwin Bailey of traditional moral theology and its changing attitude to contraception. Mary Stocks brings to life the early struggles of the "family planners"; and there are the fruits of research on the "extended" family now being carried on in East London, under Professor Titmuss, by Dr. Michael Young and Peter Willmott. There are other contributions of no less importance. Lord Simon of Wythenshawe contributes a preface and "Vicky" a cartoon; the book is liberally illustrated by Alfred Wurmser with forty line drawings and end-papers. The Human Sum is sponsored by The Family Planning Association whose twenty-fifth anniversary it commemorates. But apart from this it is a book which had to be written. For it is no less than a testament of hope and courage. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
