Measuring and Understanding Complex Phenomena
Indicators are more and more applied to describe and analyze complex systems. Typical examples: Innovation potential of nations, child-well being, Environmental health, poverty, chemical pollution, corruption of nations. The task is: How can a system of indicators be defined in order to fulfill the above expectations. One possibility is the application of the mathematical theory of partial order, especially when the indicator system shall be used for ranking purposes.
Complexity of Social Phenomena
What is complexity? What are the characteristics of a complex system? What does it mean to measure? How to develop an efficient tool for measuring socio-economic phenomena? What is synthesis? What are the main statistical tools for synthesis of multi-indicator systems? These are the research questions that are attempted to be answered in this book, the result of the author’s research work during his PhD. The book offers a conceptual and methodological analysis of the topic of synthesis of complex social phenomena, also proposing interesting applications to real cases. Winner of the Competition “Prize for PhD Thesis 2020” arranged by Sapienza University Press.
The Palgrave Handbook of Family Sociology in Europe
This handbook provides a meaningful overview of topical themes within family sociology as an academic field as well as empirical realities in various societal contexts across Europe. More than sixty prominent European scholars’ original texts present the field’s main theoretical and methodological approaches in addition to issues such as families as relationships, parental arrangements, parenting practices and child well-being, family policies in welfare state regimes, family lives in migration, and family trajectories. Presenting cutting-edge research on findings, theoretical interpretations, and solutions to methodological challenges, it is a timely tool for researchers, teachers, students, and family practitioners who wish to familiarise themselves with the state of family sociology in Europe.

Partial Order Concepts in Applied Sciences
TThis book illustrates recent advances in applications of partial order theory and Hasse diagram techniques to data analysis, mainly in the socio-economic and environmental sciences. For years, partial order theory has been considered a fundamental branch of mathematics of only theoretical interest. In recent years, its effectiveness as a tool for data analysis is increasingly being realized and many applications of partially ordered sets to real problems in statistics and applied sciences have appeared. Main examples pertain to the analysis of complex and multidimensional systems of ordinal data and to problems of multi-criteria decision making, so relevant in social and environmental scien...
The Cambridge Handbook of Sociology: Volume 1
Whether a student, an instructor, a researcher, or just someone interested in understanding the roots of sociology and our social world, The Cambridge Handbook of Sociology, Volume 1 is for you. This first volume of the Handbook focuses on core areas of sociology, such as theory, methods, culture, socialization, social structure, inequality, diversity, social institutions, social problems, deviant behavior, locality, geography, the environment, and social change. It also explains how sociology developed in different parts of the world, providing readers with a perspective on how sociology became the global discipline it is today. Each essay includes a discussion of how the respective subfield contributes to the overall discipline and to society. Written by some of the most respected scholars, teachers, and public sociologists in the world, the essays are highly readable and authoritative.
L'Attachement social
Hier comme aujourd’hui, l'individu ne peut vivre sans liens. Il passe sa vie à s'attacher ̶ ou à se rattacher après une rupture ̶ à sa famille tout d'abord, aux proches qu'il s’est choisis par nécessité, par amour ou amitié, à sa communauté ethnique ou religieuse, à ses collègues de travail ou à ses pairs, aux personnes qui partagent les mêmes origines géographiques, sociales ou culturelles, et bien entendu aussi aux institutions de son pays. Autrement dit, l’être humain est anthropologiquement solidaire. Ses attaches lui assurent à la fois la protection face aux aléas du quotidien, et la reconnaissance de son identité et de son existence sociale. Dans le sillage de...
50 questions de sociologie
Une question de sociologie s’intéresse, par définition, à ce qui constitue la dimension sociale de l’existence humaine, mais relève d’un travail d’objectivation ne pouvant se concevoir sans un regard distancié et critique par rapport au sens commun. Pour répondre à cinquante de ces questions, cet ouvrage, dans un souci pédagogique permanent, mobilise le savoir accumulé à partir des recherches menées. Conçu à l’occasion du dixième anniversaire de la revue Sociologie, il traduit le dynamisme et la richesse de la discipline, et une volonté collective de définir et d’éclairer les questions majeures qui traversent notre société.
