WILLIAM F. OGBURN - A Handbook of Sociology. The International Library of Sociology & Social Reconstruction

London England, Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1964. Fifth Edition (Revised), Binding: Cloth, Very Good/Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Hardback An increasing interest in Sociology has been shown in this country during the last few years, not only among students in the social and allied sciences, but also among the general public. In particular, members of the professional world, teachers, ministers, social workers, doctors, lawyers and many others, have shown a desire for a more fundamental sociological orientation. The present book should meet that need. It gives a comprehensive survey of the whole field of Sociology and bases its conclusions on the large body of empirical research which has been done during the last decades. This fifth edition has been complete revised and reset. The chapter on Role and Status has been deleted and a new chapter added on Social Stratification. In editing the text for the English reader, some material has been deleted to make way for English illustrative matter, and for references to the substantial developments in English social researches over the last decade. The bibliography has been revised to include English texts and brought up to date. The questions for study also include revisions aimed to direct the attention of students to problems of interest to English sociologists. Previous owners name inside cover.
