 Harold
Stephen Bucklin (1886-1967) published a series of articles surveying the
agencies that dealt with disadvantaged children. As you may guess from
that statement, he was a professor of political science and sociology. But
what is truly remarkable about him (and his wife) is his trip (with his wife and
two year old son Donald) to China long before it was a tourist destination. In
1923-24 he went to China with the Brown-in-China program as professor of
sociology at Shanghai College. A wonderful view of the photos he took
documenting social conditions and his China trip is found at a
site established by
Donald Bucklin, where you can order photos, such as the one at the left.
Harold was born in Pawtucket, Rhode Island on November 4, 1886. He graduated
from Brown University in 1910, received his Master of Arts degree in social
work, in 1915 from the New York School of Social Work, where he received a
master of arts degree in 1915, and earned his Ph.D. degree in 1918 at
Brown University. He was named assistant professor in 1918, associate professor
of social science in 1926, associate professor of sociology in 1929, and full
professor in 1949. He was chairman of Sociology within the
Department of Political Science and Sociology in 1946, and from 1947 to 1948
chairman of the separate Department of Sociology, retiring in 1951. In
Rhode Island he served as chairman of the Americanization Commission in
1919 and member of the Children's Law Commission in 1926 and of the Juvenile
Court Commission in 1938.

Come Rain or Come Shine : Friendships Between Women
by
Linda Bucklin |
We are two "ordinary" women
who feel that women's friendships can be extraordinary.....We also share
the hope of making a difference in other people's lives. The feedback
we've already received from family, friends, and other early readers
encourages us that this book may indeed be doing just that. |

The Complete Guide to
Nonprofit Management (Nonprofit Law, Finance, and Management) by Smith
Bucklin & Associates.

largest professional managers of nonprofit corporations. Addresses
virtually every nonprofit business management issue. This is a "five star"
rated book by reviewers in the field. |
The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara (1974) is a popular book about the Civil
War. If you are from Maine, are a Bucklin, and are interested in the Civll
War this is the book for you. The author claims
that the history is accurate and taken from letters and documents of the
period, but the dialog and characterization is his interpretation. In one
chapter, Joseph Bucklin, wounded and tired of war, one of 180 Maine
soldiers that are the subject of an order to be shot for not pressing
onward, keeps fighting for freedom as an ideal. (Our link goes
to the cheap pocket book version, but several more expensive versions are
also available.) |

not confuse this book with Harold Elk Straubing's book with the same
