The General Sociology of Harrison C. White
Harrison C. White is one of American sociology's pre-eminent thinkers, yet until now his endeavour to develop a general theoretical perspective on the basis of social network analysis has remained largely unexamined. This book opens out for the first time White's contribution to those interested generally in his social network approach, but daunted by the complexity and mathematical modelling often employed in his published work. Special attention is paid to White's model of production markets, as an application of his general sociology. The book draws on interview material with White himself, as well as with several of his past students.

Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions.Vilfredo Pareto (1848-1923) was a social scientist who plated a significant role in the development of sociology, economics, and political science.

He contributed to the development of functionalist and systems theories of social and economic life and was a major influence on the work of talcott Parsons. He was al...
Founding Sociology? Talcott Parsons and the Idea of General Theory.
The theories of Talcott Parsons' are enjoying a revival in the world of sociology. Rather than following closely the complex original prose in an effort to explain the theory in its minutiae, Holmwood presents a highly readable non-technical critique of several of the strongest underlying sociological themes and shows how, although flawed in many respects, these themes have been recurring, in different forms, in the theories of those critical of his work.

General Sociology
Excerpt from General Sociology: An Exposition of the Main Development in Sociological Theory From Spencer to Ratzenhofer Treatises always have their place, but one may venture the belief that, in the present stage of sociological thought, there is more use for the humbler service of a conspectus. There is more in common between the scattered forces of sociology than can easily be made to appear. Differences of emphasis create illusions of separateness, and even antagonism, where there is only division of labor. Disagreements about details of fact or method cover up unities in fundamental conception. A distinctive social philosophy is already here, and the sociologists accept it more generall...
Methodology of Sociological Research
This is the first part of a textbook for students of sociology, and for those students of other social sciences who wish to make use in their work of the research methods elaborated in the course of the develop ment of empirical sociology over the last few decades.

It is evidence of a desire to base our understanding and conscious transformation of social phenom ena on a sound, scientific perception of social processes and the mechanisms governi...
An Introduction to Sociology, for Social Workers, and General Readers
Excerpt from An Introduction to Sociology, for Social Workers, and General Readers This book does not aim to cover all the topics which would be included in a comprehensive text-book; it is just an Introduction, although the treatment is systematic since my motive in taking up the study was to strike a clear path for myself through the jungle of social questions. Some problems of great importance, as for example the institution of land-tenure, of marriage, are left on one side: others have received a more extended notice,, probably because the upheaval of Europe during the recent years has thrust these into prominence. The central theme of sociology, as here conceived, is the definition of s...
