About the Author
Herbert Spencer (1820-1903) was an English philosopher, political theorist, sociological theorist, author, and editor. He served in the later capacity for the Economist from 1843 to 1853. He is perhaps best known for applying evolutionary theory to social development and coined the term "survival of the fittest." His best known works are Man versus the State and the multi-volume System of Synthetic Philosophy.
Jonathan H. Turner is distinguished professor of sociology at the University of California, Riverside. He has been visiting professor at numerous universities around the world, including Cambridge University, Universitat Bremen, and Shandong University. His latest book is The Sociology of Emotions (with Jan E. Stets).
