• W4383460600 abstract "158 Book Reviews TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE tunities reflected in favor of violent protests. A high level of abundance and material well-being generates anger among the poor and terrible anxieties for the middle class, especially the young. A sophisticated, advanced civilization reenacts the dilemmas of a banana republic and makes a mockery of the fondest doctrines of economic development and political stability. If for no other reason, the nation owes a considerable debt to the young radicals whose con­ frontation tactics are proving that MAN is not ready to become an acronym for Meaningless Archaic Nonentity! They are forcing personal confrontations on a society that had done everything possible to standardize people into inter­ changeable parts. [P. 144] Professor Nieburg is not so pessimistic as these exaggerations suggest. In his final chapter he gives primary attention to the politics of race. He had earlier noted that “the underlying and still unresolved factor of this dynamic is the black revolution. Today it provides the key to all the rest. Violence and riots may be a necessary stage of black unity before substantial reintegration of American society becomes possible. The end is not in sight” (p. 131). He closes on a note of qualified optimism: Catastrophe is possible but improbable: Is the prevalence of confrontation politics a sign and a mark of schism in the soul of America? The impending end? The answer to this naive and alarmist question is a paradox: conflict is always present in human relations and con­ stitutes a great force in keeping things loose, capable of adaptation and adjust­ ment, ready to endure other trouble-making generations. Political confrontation is “what societies do instead of committing suicide” (Kopkind, p. 54 [AAtu York Times Magazine, November 10, 1968]). Death and transfiguration are the countermotifs of life and growth. [P. 163] Frank B. Cliffe, Jr.* Implications of Biomedical Technology. Edited by Irene Taviss and Judith Koivumaki.

TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE Book Reviews 159 In the fall of 1968, the Harvard Program on Technology began a series of research reviews, each number of which is intended to present an overview of a particular area of interface between technology and society. The format of each review is a brief “state of the art” essay, followed by abstracts of a small number of works, mostly articles, in each of several subdivisions of the literature. The “overview” essays are concise, well-written pieces that give the reader a fairly well-balanced, nontechnical introduction to the area. The abstracts vary rather widely in their quality. Some are really quite excellent summaries, while others read like a disjointed assemblage of marginal notes and key sentences. Such is often the difficulty with abstracts, however. Given the increasing emphasis on “problem orientation” in an aca­ demic world that is still predominantly “discipline oriented,” this re­ view series stands as a valuable contribution. It provides scholars a quick access to emerging bodies of literature and to perspectives that are important and likely to be missed given their diffuse origins. It is unlikely, for instance, that I would have run across Ozbekhan’s article “The Triumph of Technology: ‘Can’ Implies ‘Ought,’ ” which appeared in System Development Corporation no. SP 2830 (June 1967) had the abstract not been given in Review no. 3. The drawback to this service provided by the Harvard Program is the sometimes spotty..." @default.
