Although systematic network analyses mapping the social organization of business power date only from the 1970s, scholars have explored the relations that link corporations and their directors into corporate elites and intercorporate networks for over a century. Otto Jeidels’s (1905) study of the relationship of German banks to industry, the first noteworthy investigation of this kind, discovered 1,350 interlocking directorates between the six biggest banks and industry. He related the interlock network to “a new phase in German industrial development caused by concentration and launched by the economic crisis of 1900” (Fennema and Schijf, 1978: 298). This chapter reviews the empirical work that followed from Jeidels, with an emphasis upon the period since the 1970s, when social scientists turned to network analysis as the primary means of representing the structure of elite and intercorporate relations. First, some terminology. Networks linking corporations and their directors are known as “twomode” or “affiliation” networks (see Borgatti, this volume): they contain two kinds of nodes (directors and corporations), with lines running only between one kind and the other. When an individual sits on two corporate boards concurrently, (s)he is said to hold interlocking directorships with the two companies, which also means that the directorates of the companies interlock, tying them together at the level of governance. For individuals, interlocking directorships enable participation in governance

Curtin combines modern research and statistical methods with his broad knowledge of the field to present the first book-length quantitative analysis of the Atlantic slave trade. Its basic evidence suggests revision of currently held opinions concerning the place of the slave trade in the economies of the Old World nations and their American colonies. Curtin s work will not only be the starting point for all future research on the slave trade and comparative slavery, but will become an indispensable reference for anyone interested in Afro-American studies. "Journal of American History" Curtin has produced a stimulating monograph, the product of immaculate scholarship, against which all past and future studies will have to be judged. "Journal of American Studies" Professor Curtin s new book is up to his customary standard of performance: within the limits he set for himself, The Atlantic Slave Trade could hardly be a better or more important book. "American Historical Review" "

'This book is the record of a struggle between two temperaments, two consciences and almost two epochs.' Father and Son stands as one of English literature's seminal autobiographies. In it Edmund Gosse recounts, with humour and pathos, his childhood as a member of a Victorian Protestant sect and his struggles to forge his own identity despite the loving control of his father. A key document of the crisis of faith and doubt; a penetrating exploration of the impact of evolutionary science; an astute, well-observed, and moving portrait of the tensions of family life: Father and Son remains a classic of twentieth-century literature. As well as an illuminating introduction, this edition also provides a series of fascinating appendices including extracts from Philip Gosse's Omphalos and his harrowing account of his wife's death from breast cancer. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
