From the Publisher:
This text introduces sociology using the overall theme "The Great Social Transformation" to systematically highlight two aspects of social change. The first involves the change from social life organized around personal, communal relations (as in more traditional societies) to social life organized around impersonal, associational relations (as in industrial and postindustrial societies). The second aspect concerns ongoing social change and its implications for life in the twenty-first century.
