What is Society?
Reflections on Freedom, Order, and Change
- Earl Babbie - Chapman University, USA
June 1993 | 176 pages | SAGE Publications, Inc
A supplementary text for introductory sociology courses. One of the most difficult concepts to convey to introductory students is social structure. This book achieves that goal for students the way few sociology texts do. Babbie also successfully explains for students what is fundamentally different about the social level of analysis in comparison to other behavioral science perspectives.
