Public Opinion by Walter Lippmann (23 September 1889 – 14 December 1974).
Public Opinion (1922), by Walter Lippman, is a critical assessment of functional democratic government, especially the irrational, and often self-serving, social perceptions that influence individual behavior, and prevent optimal societal cohesion. (Introduction by author)
Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): Standard
IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects (and hence the number of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Instructions for soloist: transfer of files (completed recordings) Please always post in this forum thread when you've sent a file.
Also, post the length of the recording (file duration: mm:ss) together with the link.
Upload your file with the LibriVox Uploader (when your upload is complete, you will receive a link - please post it in this thread): http://librivox.org/login/uploader
(If you have trouble reading the image above, please message an admin) You'll need to select an MC, which for this project is: kd - KiltedDragon
ProgressingAmerica has set this up as a solo; he's planning on reading it all himself.
(For the record, I cannot MC it because it's still under copyright for me, and I download all files I MC. That may be why it's taking so long to get an MC on this project, as it will not be PD for Europe or Canada.)
The durations should be listed in the MW in the notes field for any prospective listeners and for future cataloging.
