About this Item

Pretoria, South African Council for Scientific and Industrial Relations, 1964. Small quarto, xii, 126 pages with 6 tables and 38 diagrams. Cloth very slightly rubbed; a near-fine copy. 'In each lecture emphasis was laid on the family group which, of course, will differ in its composition and the responsibilities of the various members of the family when viewed in terms of different regions and countries. The lectures cannot but be biased by what the author has seen achieved in Southern Africa, and in South Africa in particular. The great benefit of such experience is that when working in developing countries one is forced to realize the important part played by traditional beliefs and patterns of living when they come face to face with the new technological developments. These factors require a great deal of understanding and demand a humble approach by the housing expert' (from the author's preface).CSIR Research Report 208.
