FINE stated 1st edition (& 1st printing) in a FINE dust jacket (price intact). Laid in is an 8-page

FINE stated 1st edition (& 1st printing) in a FINE dust jacket (price intact). Laid in is an 8-page ribbon-tied program for the Presentation of the Book to Jacques Barzun at The University Club, New York City, on October 22, 1976. The book contains an essay by Dr. Kenneth B. Clark, "The Impact of Personality, " in the section about Jacques Barzun at Columbia. The book was purchased from the estate of the late Dr. Kenneth B. Clark. Dr. Clark, whose research was seminal in the development of the civil rights movement, conducted major research in the field of educational psychology. Clark's pioneering study on the effects of racial discrimination was cited by the U.S. Supreme Court in its historic 1954 ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, which declared segregation in public schools unconstitutional.
