Sizing-Up The Crowd is a book written by Charles Howard Kegley and published in 1915. The book is a comprehensive guide to understanding and managing crowds of people, particularly in public spaces such as theaters, stadiums, and public events. The book begins by discussing the psychology of crowds and how they behave in different situations. Kegley provides insights into the factors that influence crowd behavior, such as group dynamics, emotional contagion, and the role of leaders. He also explores the different types of crowds and their characteristics, including casual crowds, expressive crowds, and aggressive crowds.The second part of the book focuses on crowd management techniques. Kegley provides practical advice on how to prevent and manage crowd-related incidents, such as stampedes, riots, and fights. He discusses the importance of crowd control measures, such as physical barriers, police presence, and communication strategies.The book also includes case studies and examples from real-life events, such as the 1913 New York City fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, which claimed the lives of 146 workers. Kegley analyzes the factors that contributed to the tragedy and provides recommendations for preventing similar incidents in the future.Overall, Sizing-Up The Crowd is a valuable resource for anyone involved in managing crowds, from event organizers and security professionals to law enforcement officials and emergency responders. Its insights into crowd psychology and practical advice on crowd management make it a timeless classic in the field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
