The International Library of Sociology (ILS) is the most important series of books on sociology ever published. Founded in the 1940s by Karl Mannheim, the series became the forum for pioneering research and theory, marked by comparative approaches and analysis of new disciplines, such as the sociology of youth and culture. Spanning volumes by Parsons, Dickinson and Ossowski, the history of the ILS is the history of modern sociology. Young people are educable. Young people are worth educating. Upon their wise handling depend the issues of ultimate harmonyor conflict in the home, in workshop or factory, and among thenations.
