Detailed
Description		    An analysis of realities and possibilities in Palestine by Solomon Kaplansky. The work includes a number of tables, and an introduction by Prof. Dr. Franz Oppenheimer, who was German sociologist and economist, and an initiator of cooperative agriculture in Erez Israel. The son of a reform rabbi, Oppenheimer was born in Berlin and studied medicine in Freiburg and Berlin. He started his career as a practicing physician, but after graduating in economics at the University of Kiel (1908), he became Privatdozent at the University of Berlin in 1909 and professor at the University of Frankfort in 1917, where he occupied a newly established chair of sociology from 1919 to 1929. After Hitler's advent to power in 1933, Oppenheimer lectured in Berlin at the Hochschule fuer die Wissenschaft des Judentums. He left Germany for the U.S. in 1938 and died in Los Angeles.
