Demographics in the formation of language communities and in the emergence of languages: The early years of ASL in New England
How may the structure of a new linguistic community shape language emergence and change? The 1817 founding of the US's first enduring school for the deaf, the American School for the Deaf (ASD) in Hartford, Connecticut, heralded profound changes in the lives of deaf North Americans. We report the demographics of the early signing community at ASD through quantitative analyses of the 1,700 students who attended the school during its first fifty ye…
Explorations in the realm of organization theory. IV: The simulation of social organization
The study of various aspects of organization theory has been undertaken by this author in previous articles in Behavioral Science. In the January, 1958 issue, Models for Man and The Organization of Space were discussed, while in the July, 1959 issue, problems relating to Decision Making, Planning, and The Steady State were explored. Here the author emphasizes synthesis of organization, as opposed to the earlier descriptive analytical studies, wit…

The way to sustainability for poor cities
The way to sustainability for poor cities proposes a systematic framework for achieving sustainability based upon community ecology that recognizes and builds on the complex interdependence of activities within any city. The author stresses the need for much greater attention to local knowledge and institutions and to those aspects of a better quality of life that depend not on high resource use but on health, participation, social interaction an…

Urban Futures Observed in the Asian Third World
Better Cities for the Future Especially for the Third World
In future competition between metropolitan regions basic human needs should lead to a novel urban form in the less developed countries as new resource-conserving technologies are becoming available. Water is best conserved as marketable commodities of different qualities, allowing recycling when economic. Organic contents of sewage can be returned to the city as fish, poultry, and pork; and 'grey' water could be channeled into intensive gardening…

Planning for an Urban World: The Design of Resource-Conserving Cities
Preparing Indian Coastal Metropolises for Accelerated Development
ny careful observer who crosses Asia from East to West at this time encounters the most astonishing economic boom in the history of Asia, and is forced to recognize that India is thus far missing out on it. Why? The reasons are buried in the events surrounding its emergence from colonialism, in complex ideological commitments, and in personalities. However, sharing out the blame is not really as important as a determination of what needs to be do…
On Living During the Reformation of Science: Comment
Opposition to science is always with us, but Jacques Ellul is a phenomenon of our time and is therefore an item with which I, as an investigator and a teacher, must reckon. The standard reaction, which has been followed by ninety-nine per cent or more of the fraternity, is to respond with the 'silent treatment'. Anyone who speaks so imprecisely about science and its applications must not be serious. Arguments are tossed off in Ellul's books which…
Industrial Technologies for Developing Economies by Jack Baranson (review)
TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE Book Reviews 329 populism of the late 20th century has not been imported into Europe from Russia or America; instead, some items of European thought have been spread independently and recombined to form various indigenous populisms. The idea behind the book has merit, but unfortunately people with ideas often find it difficult to believe that ideas in themselves are not enough; they often cut corners and display an unwillin…
