CHOICE Review

A well-organized collection of previously published readings about structural change in industrial society (``deindustrialization''). Wisely chosen papers by authors with dissimilar-sometimes conflicting-views focus on the impact of plant closings; the policies of unions, government, and management for solving problems of plant closure; the appropriate roles for state and federal government; and the solutions of foreign countries. Many reprinted articles (e.g., from Monthly Labor Review) are readily accessible; others are difficult to obtain. The authors raise important questions and provide a variety of leading answers. The index is excellent; the bibliography is extensive and useful; and the format is attractive. Recommended for undergraduate libraries; also useful for graduate and public libraries.-R.O.
