Hardback or Cased Book. Condizione: New. Lynchburg College Symposium Readings Third Edition 2005 Volume IV: Society, Solitude and Community. Book.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The readings in this volume explore the tensions between the individual and society and the even greater tensions between solitude and community.

Society, Solitude, and Community is the fourth in the 10-volume series, Lynchburg College Symposium Readings, 3rd edition.

The series has been developed by Lynchburg College faculty for use in the Senior Symposium and the Lynchburg College Symposium Readings Program (SS/LCSR). While these programs are distinctive to Lynchburg College, the texts are used on many college campuses across the nation, as well as by readers interested in significant original texts on important topics.…
