Über diesen Titel

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This brief introductory text surveys 10,000 years of social evolution, from the earliest preindustrial societies to the contemporary, globalized world. World Societies examines the various forces that have brought about social organization and social change―such as economics, technology, population, and ecology―and also discusses the major theoretical perspectives on social evolution and development.

Some of the material in this text has been adapted from Stephen K. Sanderson's Macrosociology: An Introduction to Human Societies.
