Hutterites (p. 34) 
According to the New York Times 
Book Review, J. A. Hostetler’s Hut- 
terite Society (Baltimore: The Johns 
Hopkins University Press, 1976) is 
“the definitive history and ethnogra- 
phy of the Hutterites.” All Things 
Common, by V. Peters (Minneapolis: 
University of Minnesota Press, 1965), 
is a well-written, general study of the 
Hutterites. J.W. Bennett’s Northern 
Plainsmen (Chicago: Aldine Atherton, 
1969) is an economic, anthropological 
study of the different agrarian and 
adaptive strategies used by Hutterites, 
Indians, and farmers in the Jasper, 
Canada, region, while his Hutterian 
Brethren (Stanford: Stanford Univer- 
sity Press, 1967) offers insights into 
the agricultural economy and social 
organization of the Hutterites of 
southwestern Saskatchewan. The 
Hutterites in North America, by J.A. 
Hostetler and G.E. Huntington (New 
York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 
1967), is a detailed description of Hut- 
terite daily life. For an insider’s per- 
spective, see The Hutterite Way, a 
work written by a Hutterite, P.S. 
Gross (Saskatoon: Freeman Publish- 
ing Co., 1965), which covers the life, 
customs, traditions, and religion of the 
Hutterites. The classic history of the 
Hutterites is J. Horsch’s The Hutterite 
Brethren 1528-1931 (Goshen: Men- 
nonite Historical Society, 1931). D. 
Flint’s The Hutterites (Toronto: Ox- 
ford University Press, 1975) examines 
Hutterite daily life and beliefs, par- 
ticularly as demonstrated in a Pincher 
Creek, Alberta, colony. J.A. Hostetler 
gives the most detailed account of 
Hutterite child-rearing practices in 
“Communal Socialization Patterns in 
Hutterite Society ( Ethnology , Octo- 
ber 1968, pp. 331- 55). “The Christian 
Communists of Canada” ( GEO Mag- 
azine, November 1979, pp. 126-54), 
which features many color photo- 
graphs, is' M. Holzach’s recounting of 
his experiences living in a Hutterite 
colony in Canada. An anthropological 
case study of a related Anabaptist 
sect, J.A. Hostetler and G.E. Hunting- 
ton’s Children in Amish Society (New 
York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 
1971) discusses Amish child training 
and schooling. “The Anabaptist Explo- 
sion,” by W.F. Pratt ( Natural History, 
February 1969, pp. 8-23) explores the 
traditionally high levels of fertility 
among the Hutterites and Amish. 
Walrus (p. 48) 
A systematic account of the pin- 
nipeds, V.B. Scheffer’s Seals, Sea Li- 
ons, and Walruses (Stanford: Stan- 
ford University Press, 1958) examines 
the distribution and variation patterns 
of these animals. Diving Companions, 
by J.Y. Cousteau and P. Diole, trans- 
lated from the French by J.F. Bernard 
(New York: Doubleday and Co., 1 974), 
recounts the experiences of the Calypso 
crew while witnessing the springtime 
migration of the walrus in the Arctic. 
R. Perry’s portrait of walrus life and 
society, The World of the Walrus ( New 
York: Taplinger Publishing Co., 1967), 
discusses human exploitation of the 
walrus. For detailed descriptions of 
all seal species, consult G. Maxwell’s 
Seals of the World (Boston: Houghton 
Mifflin, 1967). A popular work treat- 
ing the yearly rhythms of arctic ani- 
mals, The Arctic Year, by P. Freuchen 
and F. Salomonsen (New York: G.P. 
Putnam Sons, 1958), gives extensive 
coverage to the walrus. The May/June 
1980 issue of Oceans features a photo 
essay, “The Pinniped Papers” (pp. 1 1- 
17) and two articles by D. Haley: 
“Tooth-Walking Sea Horse” (pp. 38- 
44), which provides general informa- 
tion on the walrus, and “Future of 
the Walrus: Rise Before the Fall?” 
(pp. 62-63), which explores how dis- 
covery of oil and minerals in the Be- 
ring and Chukchi seas may affect the 
area’s walrus population. B. Keating’s 
Alaska (Washington, D.C.: National 
Geographic Society, 1971) offers a 
section on the Diomede Islands. Two 
recent Natural History articles deal- 
ing with the walrus, with text and 
photographs by F. Bruemmer, are 
“The Gregarious but Contentious 
Walrus” (November 1977, pp. 52-61) 
and “Life on a Cold Rock” (March 
1977, pp. 54-65). 
Acid Rain (p. 58) 
The first article in a two-part series 
on acid rain by S. West in Science 
News, “Acid from Heaven” (February 
2, 1980, pp. 76-78), deals with the 
sources of acid rain; the second, “Acid 
Solutions,” (February 16, 1980, pp. 
106-108) looks at the scientific and 
political problems involved in control- 
ling it. Environment published a series 
of articles investigating acid precipi- 
tation: “Acid Precipitation: 1. Causes 
and Consequences,” by H. Babich, 
D.L. Davis, and G. Stotzky, appeared 
in the May 1980 issue (pp. 6-13); 
the June 1980 issue featured G.S. 
Wetstone’s “The Need for a Regu- 
latory Approach” (p. 9), A. Rosen- 
cranz’s “The Problem of Transbound- 
ary Pollution” (p. 15), and Wetstone 
and Rosencranz on “National and In- 
ternational Responses” (pp. 6-7). 
“Acid Rain,” by G.E. Likens et al. 
{Scientific American, October 1979, 
pp. 42-51), includes many maps and 
diagrams charting the rise in acid rain 
from the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s. 
In “Acid Precipitation in the Western 
United States” ( Science , January II, 
1980, pp. 176-77), W.M. Lewis and 
M.C. Grant associate the downward 
trend in pH levels of the last three 
years with the increase of nitric acid 
in precipitation. Acid Rain (Washing- 
ton, D.C.: EPA Office of Research 
and Development, July 1980), a 36- 
page exploration of acid rain, covers 
the laws that govern the emissions re- 
sulting in acid rain and the research 
now under way to understand its im- 
plications and effects. This publication 
costs $3.25 and can be ordered by 
writing to Superintendent of Docu- 
ments, U.S. Government Printing Of- 
fice, Washington, D.C. 20402 and re- 
questing GPO-055-00-00 198-7. Sulfur , 
in the Environment, edited by J.O. 
Nriagu (New York: John Wiley and 
Sons, 1978), is a two-volume compen- 
dium of articles focusing on the be- 
havior and effects of sulfur and the 
ecological stress created by this pol- 
lutant. Other books containing tech- 
nical material on acid rain are: Effects 
of Acid Precipitation on Terrestrial 
Ecosystems, edited by T.C. Hutch- 
inson and M. Havas (New York: 
Planum Press, 1978); Atmospheric 
Sulfur Deposition, edited by D.S. 
Schreiner, C.R. Richmond, and S.E. 
Lindberg (Ann Arbor: Ann Arbor Sci- 
ence, 1980); and Polluted Rain, edited 
by T.Y. Toribara, M.W. Miller, and 
P.E. Moro (New York: Planum Press, 
1980). A number of articles by G. 
Hendrey, on the effects of acid rain
