London England: Cambridge at the University Press, 1963. Hardback. Underlining and ticks in margin in pen and pencil to some pages. Wear and tear to edges of D/J. (From the library of George Rude, author and historian, signed by him to inside cover). Message to George Rude to inside cover saying ' To George, Because this is compulsory reading for all newly-made professors of history!, From Kath. Christmas, 1963'. The author writes of social behaviour and its relation to political philosophy. The subject itself is a large and complex one in which interest has been steadily increasing in recent years. Mr. Runciman's task has been to clarify a number of disputed and often unclear topics in the social sciences, and to extend traditional political philosophy in the direction of recent developments in these sciences.
