The Altruistic Personality
by Samuel Oliner, Pearl M. Oliner

Why did some ordinary people risk their lives to help people in need, while others stood by? Samuel Oliner is a survivor who interviewed over 700 European rescuers and non-rescuers. Appropriate for teachers because of discussion about effects of discipline techniques in early childhood, and their effects on adult values.
