TL;DR: The World of Life: a Manifestation of Creative Power, Directive Mind, and Ultimate Purpose by Dr. A. R. Wallace as mentioned in this paper is a book written by the veteran naturalist in his eighty-eighth year.
Abstract: THE appearance of a new book written by the veteran naturalist in his eighty-eighth year cannot fail to arouse the interest of a wide circle of readers. The work may indeed be regarded as a recapitulation of the opinions on a great variety of topics which, during a long and active literary career, extending over more than fifty years, Dr. Alfred Russel Wallace has put forth in a number of memoirs, books, and magazine articles. But to regard the work as a mere summarv of the results of former labours would be to do a great injustice to its author; for there is scarcely a subject referred to in it, in which fresh facts, novel lines of reasoning, or suggestive conclusions are not presented for our consideration.The World of Life: a Manifestation of Creative Power, Directive Mind, and Ultimate Purpose.By Dr. A. R. Wallace Pp. xvi + 408. (London: Chapman and Hall, Ltd., 1910.) Price 12s. 6d. net.

TL;DR: This article presented an ethnographic examination of directive sequences in two speech communities, one in the U.S. and one in Colombia, with emphasis on the distinctive belief systems revealed by directive use.
Abstract: Compliance gaining has been widely studied in communication research as a phenomenon central to interpersonal life. Yet the category of attempts to compel the actions of others, labeled as directives in pragmatics and ethnography, has received little specific attention, despite its close connection to actual spoken life. This essay presents an ethnographic examination of directive sequences in two speech communities, one in the U.S. and one in Colombia, with emphasis on the distinctive belief systems revealed by directive use. Data from several earlier studies of compliance gaining are then reexamined to show that patterns of results obtained in those studies are consistent with the cultural values of U.S. Americans and inconsistent with the values of Colombians. The likelihood that those patterns reveal cultural underpinnings in the constructs of personality, situation, and gender is then discussed.
