A Social Science Gem,
By
This review is from: Social Commitments in a Depersonalized World (Hardcover)
Great social science is developed through cumulative work. Edward Lawler, Shane R. Thye, and Jeongkoo Yoon have carried on a line of research which spans nearly two decades, and now in this volume, they have summarized their work into what is social science gem. It deals with the most fundamental issue of social solidarity. They dare to tackle the most substantial question--what is it in interaction that sustains this sense of solidarity and cohesion? In the world where too many cry that communities are lost, that identity has gone stale, that social solidarity has become benign, this book shows us that interaction and solidarity are not only still possible but remain a dynamic force of social life. This book is one of the most significant additions to the behavioral sciences in many years. It is a fascinating read for everyone.
