Synopsis

Community, A Sociological Study is a book written by Robert Morrison Maciver in 1920. In this book, Maciver attempts to define and explain the nature of social life and its fundamental laws. He explores the concept of community, which he defines as a group of individuals who share common interests, values, and goals. Maciver examines the various factors that influence the formation and development of communities, including economic, political, and cultural factors. He also discusses the role of social institutions, such as family, religion, and education, in shaping social life. Throughout the book, Maciver draws on examples from history and contemporary society to illustrate his arguments and provide a deeper understanding of the complexities of social life. Overall, Community, A Sociological Study is an important work in the field of sociology that offers a comprehensive analysis of the nature of social life and the factors that shape it.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1920 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Community, because that term expresses best the object which social science as such endeavours to study. It is in community, the common life, that the interests represented by the specific social sciences are bound together, made integral, and thus amenable to a more comprehensive science. The work which foU ows seeks to be an introduction to this wider science. The vast extension of social knowledge due to research into the life of primitive and barbaric communities, as weU as to recent study of all the great forms of civilised association, political, economic, educational, ecclesiastical, and so forth, increases at once the difficulty and the necessity of the synthetic science of sociology. (C ommunity resembles a country recently discovered or rediscovered and suddenly overrun by explorers. I ts mountains are being measured, its lakes fathomed, its plains surveyed, its fauna and flora investigated ;but there is stiU scarcely any clear comprehensive chart of the whole country, based on the stores of information supplied by so many diligent explorers. Perhaps it is too early yet to expect a satisfactory map of the country, but only through successive attempts can that result be at last attained Detail has therefore been ruthlessly abandoned for the sake of comprehensiveness. It seemed to the author that the most essential features of community are the most often misconstrued.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.
