WIGHTBAKKE, Direcfor, Yale Labor and Management Center What are the forces and factors that underly good teamwork within a busi- ness organization? This book reports a pioneering study of a large organization from which emerged a new and basic concept of what the "bonds of organiza- tion" really are. Shedding new light on the dynamics of industrial relations, it is "worthy of a treasured place in the bookshelves of forward-looking industrial relations and personnel executives."-NAM NEWS. $4.00 INDUSTRY'S UNFINISHED BUSINESS Achieving Sound Industrial Relations and Fair Employment By SARA E. SOUTHALL,Formerly Industrial Relations Executive, Interna- tional Harvester Company. Foreword by FOWLERMCCORMICK. How to get such minority groups as Negroes into harmonious working adjustment with other employees is becoming increasingly important to sound personnel practice. In detailing the policy which has been successfully em- ployed in numerous companies toward this end, this book makes "an out- standing contribution to the history of industrial relations and to the cause of fair employment in the United S~~~~S."-LAWRENCEA.

One of the results of this accomplishment was seen last year when the July-August issue of SPECIAL LIBRARIES was devoted exclusively to articles of an international character. Our foreign colleagues responded so generously at that time to requests for material that lack of space precluded the publication of all that was received.
