The article presents information about several books related to sociology, and art. The fiction book "The Loved and the Unloved," by Thomas Hal Philips," is a lean novel of childhood hate and adult murder that generates considerable impact with few flourishes. Although violence is the core of Phillips's book, the discipline of his prose creates emotional and structural tension. The book "Standing Room Only," by Karl Sax Beacon is a neo-Malthusian version of world overpopulation. The other book "African Art," by Werner Schmalenbach Macmillan is about an survey of its field primarily sculpture interpreted in terms of social function and illustrated by some 150 plates of finest quality, sixteen of them in color.
