Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good- jacket. From the collection of sociologist Ira L. Reiss, with his ink stamp on front paste-down. Dr. Reiss was a pioneering researcher and educator whose work, primarily at the University of Minnesota and as a charter member and director of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sex, aimed to broaden the theoretical and scientific framework used in the study of human sexuality, the family and gender roles. In the mid-1950s, Reiss began the sociological studies that culminated in his first book, Premarital Sexual Standards in America (1960), which "predicted a sexual revolution that would start by the end of the 1960s". Shortly before he published this work, in 1956, Reiss began exchanging letters with Albert Ellis, choosing Ellis because "he was one of the most prolific and interesting authors...critically analyzing American sexual customs." The two men's professional and personal connections would continue as both played key roles in the multi-disciplinary sexology that took shape after the ground-breaking work of Alfred Kinsey, co-founding with several others the SSSS and serving as presidents, and later publishing the letters they wrote each other from 1956-1967 in the 2002 book At the Dawn of the Sexual Revolution. First Edition. Lyle Stuart, 1968; no additional printings indicated; 320pp. Inscribed to Ira L. Reiss on front end page ["For Ira--Cordially, Al"]. Binding is tight, sturdy, and square; light wear to edges of boards; text very good throughout. Unclipped dust jacket in VG-condition, lightly toned and chipped on spine panel; jacket arrives wrapped in protective mylar. Ships same or next business day from Dinkytown in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
I had to have an interlibrary loan to get this book because the Portland Oregon library did not have it.
But I wanted my own copy. I found it on Alibris, and I couldn't be more pleased. I need to study this book and an interlibrary loan didn't give me enough time.
