Hardback. Condition: Good. From 1896 to 1924, motivated by fears of an irresistible wave of Asian migration and the possibility that whites might be ousted from their position of global domination, British colonists and white Americans instituted stringent legislative controls on Chinese, Japanese, and South Asian immigration.

"Tis book contains a summary of research on the achievement motive conducted mainly at Wesleyan University . under the continuous moral and financial support of the Office of Naval Research. . we feel that most readers, being interested in the total problem, will want to read the whole book. For only if they do, will they discover what we have discovered - that concentration on a limited research problem is not necessarily narrowing; it may lead ultimately into the whole of psychology." - Preface. Oddly, one commentator claims that McClelland developed his achievement motivation theory in 1961, and presented it in his solo book, THE ACHIEVING SOCIETY.…
