Amst., 1940. 159 pp. W. many isotype charts in colour and b&w throughout the text after designs by G. Arntz. 4º. Ocl. (Spine and part of front side a bit sunned, but a good copy). Dutch translation of Otto Neurath's 'Modern man in the making', published on the eve of the Second World War. The work addresses many issues still of great relevance today - globalization, war and economy, emigration. Isotype (International System of TYpographic Picture Education) is a method of showing social, technological, biological and historical connections in pictorial form. It was first known as the Vienna Method of Pictorial Statistics (Wiener Methode der Bildstatistik), due to its having been developed at the Gesellschafts- und Wirtschaftsmuseum in Wien between 1925 and 1934. In 1926 Neurath (1882-1945) encountered woodcut prints by the German artist Gerd Arntz (1900-1988) and invited him to collaborate with the museum.
