Excerpt from University of Illinois Studies in the Social Sciences, Vol. 10: March, 1922 In 1765 the Stamp Act Congress professed to be sincerely de voted, with the warmest sentiments Of afl'ection and duty to his Majesty's person and government, and inviolably attached to the present happy establishment of the Protestant succession.1 In the closing paragraph of the Resolutions of the Congress George III is called the best Of sovereigns,2 and four days later, in a Similar document, the members declared, We glory in being the subjects of the best Of kings.3 Assertions Of this sort, Often re peated in the immediately succeeding years, ill accord with the famous indictment of the King in the Declaration of Independ ence.4 The contrast is more or less evident in almost any bistori cal treatment of the ten years prior to the Revolutionary War. The development of this hostility to King George and its ex tension to the very institution Of kingship demands attention at the outset of our investigation.

This volume presents the findings of a small group of both social and natural scientists who tackled the 'so what' question. Led by Dartmouth sociologist, Elise Boulding, and Boulder climatologist, Stephen Schneider, the group examined how a changing climate might affect people and institutions and how these might respond. The outcome of their interdisciplinary appraisal is a blend of careful reviews of relevant social-science work, group interaction and discussion, and concrete suggestions for further research and analysis.
