San Jose, 1946: A Study In Urbanization, Frank C. Moore

Sociology ETDs

For many years New Mexico has been classified as a rural state. Although New Mexico is still predominately rural, a trend toward urbanization has appeared in recent years.

The History And Enforcement Of The Federal Food, Drug, And Cosmetic Act Since 1938, William Ebert Morrissey

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

In the undertaking a recent history of such a fundamental law as one that deals with food, drugs and cosmetics in its relationship to the human race, we should realize that such a field has a history possibly as old as man himself. There have always been individuals in the good and welfare of others, and there have always been individuals interested in taking advantage of their fellow man for personal gain, frequently in an exceedingly unscrupulous manner.
