AUTHOR

Bok, Derek C.

SUMMARY

"We are going to be swamped with books at the millennium about the future of the United States. One way to decide which ones to read is to look in their indexes. If an index refers to Derek Bok extensively, read the book; if it doesn't, pass. In 'State of Nation', Bok has taken on a formidable task. He has surveyed the major social changes in the United States since World War II and examined not only the causes of each trend, but also the pattern of the combined changes. His survey ranges from the economy to quality of life to opportunities to values. He examines in detail crime, race, education, children, the environment, the arts, health, poverty, and old age...What slowly emerges from the tapestry of data and research that Bok weaves is a wealthy nation that is underachieving."Bok, Derek C. is the author of 'State of the Nation', published 1998 under ISBN 9780674292116 and ISBN 0674292111.
