This book presents an overview of that theoretical framework known
as symbolic interactionism. It details the major intellectual and
philosophical antecedents of the interactionist perspective, i.e.,
evolutionism, Scottish moral philosophy, German idealism,
pragmatism, and functional psychology. Under the heading
evolutionism, the Darwinian notion of the mutually determinative
relationship existing between environments and organisms is
discussed, as are Henri Bergson's conceptions of the nature of
radical, abrupt departures from earlier life forms and of the
emergence of novel events. Scottish moral philosophers are dealt
with in terms of their contribution to the conceptual inventory of
symbolic interactionism. Of particular relevance here are concepts
such as the impartial spectator 'sympathy', the 'I', the 'Me',
'role taking', 'generalized other', and 'looking-glass self.' Those
German idealists exerting an impact on George Herbert Mead and
symbolic interactionism, namely, Fichte, Von Schelling, Kant, and
Hegel receive mention. American pragmatic philosophy is then
summarized, and special attention is given to the writings of
Charles S. Pierce, William James, and John Dewey. The second
chapter discusses the major early interactionists, i.e., Charles
Horton Cooley, William Isaac Thomas, and George Herbert Mead. Part
two discusses the principal varieties of contemporary symbolic
interactionism. Major 'schools' receiving attention are the
'Chicago School', the 'Iowa School', the 'Dramaturgical Genre', and
'Ethnomethodology.' A unique feature of this section is that it
ends with an attempt to provide a single sentence description of
the symbolic interactionist viewpoint. Mead's writings are dealt
with in terms of his utilization of such pivotal concepts as
symbols, role taking, self, society, and mind. A listing of the
primary characteristics of the early interactionism closes out this
section of the book. The third section provides a representative
set of criticisms of interactionism. They are provided by
interactionists and also by those who favor other sociological
orientations. Both early and contemporary interactionism come under
fire, and the criticisms range from the mild to the sharp. The
perspective stands accused, by friend and foe alike, of being
quaint, ahistorical, noneconomic, imprecise, and apolitical. It has
also ignored the unconscious and emotive components in human
behavior, and it manifests a rather strong astructural bias.
Interactionists may now be in the process of correcting these
defects.

Gustave Roud, perhaps the most beloved poet of Swiss Romandy, is
widely considered the founder of modern francophone Swiss
literature, along with Charles-Ferdinand Ramuz. Roud lived at his
grandfather's farm in Carrouge, Canton Vaud, for his entire life.
In Air of Solitude, the first section of this two-part book, he
stalks the structures and fields of his youth, composing memories
out of his landscape. The narrator appears homegrown, expressing
nostalgia for what is already in front of him. Yet, like an
outsider, he remains distinctly elsewhere, unable to participate in
the workday rituals of the men around him--a stalking shadow of
unfulfilled yearning for affection and belonging. Air of Solitude
explores the rural bodies and lives of the Vaudois, returning again
and again to the desired male laborer Aime. Between each section of
Air of Solitude, Roud inserts short vignettes that provide fleeting
and lyrical images that resemble allusions to half-forgotten
memories. However, Roud leaves the relationship between the titled
sections and the interludes ambiguous. As the book concludes with
Requiem, the remnants of narrative shatter, leaving behind only the
spectral tatters of memory as Roud confronts the enigma of loss in
peerless, jewel-studded elegiac prose. With these two tales, Roud
revives the pastoral tradition and injects it with distinctly
modernist anxiety and disillusionment.

Airmen all over the world felt relief and exhilaration as the war
in the Gulf reached its dramatic conclusion on 28 February 1991.
Many nonairmen, of course, experienced those emotions as well-but
for a variety of different reasons. Airmen, long uneasy about the
lingering inconclusiveness of past applications of their form of
military power, now had what they believed to be an example of air
power decisiveness so indisputably successful as to close the case
forever. Within the United States Air Force, among those who
thought about the uses of air power, there were two basic groups of
airmen. The first-smaller and less influential-held to the views of
early air pioneers in their belief that air power was best applied
in a comprehensive, unitary way to achieve strategic results. The
second-much more dominant-had come to think of air power in its
tactical applications as a supportive element of a larger surface
(land or maritime) campaign.
