"Crystallizing Public Opinion" by Edward Bernays is a 20th century book that really started the widespread education of the public relations field.

The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind is a book authored by Gustave Le Bon that was first published in 1895. In the book, Le Bon claims that there are several characteristics of crowd psychology: "impulsiveness, irritability, incapacity to reason, the absence of judgement of the critical spirit, the exaggeration of sentiments, and others..."

The "motivation" of this book is the author's conviction that crowd formation and crowd thinking are daily becoming a more serious menace to civilization. "I know of nothing," he says (p. 6), "which today so menaces not only the values of civilization, but also the achievement of personality and true knowledge of self as the growing habit of behavior as crowds." Gustave Le Bon was the first to study seriously the crowd phenomenon. Le Bon described the emotional nature of the crowd man and suggested the importance of unconscious motivation. Martin followed up on Le Bon's account and improved the analysis by applying the concepts of Freudian psychology to the crowd man. In 1924 Floyd H. Allport contributed another important analysis of the mechanisms of crowd behavior. Both Martin and Allport succeeded in reducing the problem of crowd psychology to the problem of individual behavior under special types of motivation. Although many of the same mechanisms may be found in all crowds, they operate to produce different end results depending upon the motivational basis and the total social situation. Insufficient attention has been given to the various crowd patterns.

In 'The Behavior of Crowds,' Everett Dean Martin delves into the intricate dynamics of crowd psychology and the susceptibility of the masses to propaganda, particularly in the context of the rapidly evolving technological landscape of the modern era. His work is a piercing examination of how information, or the lack thereof, can be wielded to shape public opinion and behavior. The book is distinguished by its probing analysis, eloquent style, and the ability to place its insights within the broader literary tradition of social critique, reminding readers of the works of Gustave Le Bon and Wilfred Trotter, while also anticipating later twentieth-century thinkers like Eric Hoffer. Everett Dean Martin, with his background as a minister, journalist, and social psychologist, brings to bear a unique interdisciplinary approach in understanding the mechanisms of groupthink and mass influence. His advocacy for adult education reflects his concern for an informed citizenry and underpins this seminal work. The observations in 'The Behavior of Crowds' are a direct outcome of his extensive career spent at the intersection of education, social philosophy, and public discourse. 'The Behavior of Crowds' is a must-read for students of social psychology, historians of the early twentieth century, and anyone interested in the intersection of technology, media, and society. Martin's work provides both a timeless exploration of human behavior in collective settings and a poignant commentary relevant to contemporary discussions on the power of influence, media literacy, and the role of education in developing critical thinking skills.
