<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A poet and funeral director continues to examine the relationship between the "literary and mortuary" arts in essays speaking to the existentials: between being human and ceasing to be, between birth and death, we are bodies in motion and at rest.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Why socialism has failed to play a significant role in the United States--the most developed capitalist industrial society and hence, ostensibly, fertile ground for socialism--has been a critical question of American history and political development. Seymour Martin Lipset and Gary Marks survey with subtlety and shrewd judgment the various explanations (<em>Wall Street Journal</em>) for this phenomenon of American political exceptionalism. Clearly written, intelligent, filled with new information (<em>Times Literary Supplement</em>), this splendidly convincing (Michael Kazin, Georgetown University) work eschews conventional arguments about socialism's demise to present a fuller understanding of how multiple factors--political structure, American values, immigration, and the split between the Socialist party and mainstream unions--combined to seal socialism's fate. In peak form, two master political sociologists offer a must-read synthesis.--Theda Skocpol, Harvard University
