*Taken from the Foreword:

This volume demonstrates that human relations can be studied scientifically. Trying to understand human beings and human relationships is something all of us are concerned with in our daily lives, but the social scientist by definition is committed to going about this task in a scientific fashion. His job is to observe, to analyze, and to try to understand how and why individuals behave and interact with others as they do.....

The future abounds with opportunities for the student well-trained in any of the social science disciplines. Indeed, modern technology has added to the number and difficulty of the human problems to be met by social scientists. The industrialization of underdeveloped countries affects existing cultures and calls upon the anthropologist to apply his skills in ascertaining the strains that may be induced. Population growth resulting from advances in medical science and public health creates problems for attention by students of politics, of economics, and of family and other group relations. The advance of science and technology, by hastening changes in social and economic relationships, makes all the more necessary the advancement of social science research. Where social tradition fails, the need is most urgent for the sciences of mankind. The real challenge of the Space Age lies in deepening our knowledge of human relations and of the individual.
