Críticas
"As an introductory text, Human Societies stands out as an exemplary work of scholarship. Professor de Swaana s approach is grounded in the best tradition of historical and institutional sociology. His style is lucid and jargon--free. His analysis is cogent and engaging throughout. His coverage extends from the micro--concerns of human relationships to the macro--issues of social change and globalization." --Robert Pinker, London School of Economics
Reseña del editor
This book is a brief introduction to the study of society, which may be read without any previous knowledge of the social sciences. Each chapter addresses a fundamental question about people in their various arrangements. The book begins by asking: what do people need from one another; what do they need to survive and how do these needs make them dependent upon others? Subsequent chapters deal with the ties that bind people, the expectations they entertain of one another, their means of distinguishing themselves from others, the ways they have of moulding and teaching the young, and what they believe, know and invent. De Swaan also explores the ways in which people organize their activities, from foraging bands of only a few dozen members to contemporary societies that can effectively co-ordinate a billion people or more. Human Societies traces this huge increase in the scale of social life which occurred as new forms of human co-ordination emerged: from reciprocal obligation and collective action, to markets, organizations, and states, and finally, the emerging global level of interdependence. This book will be essential reading for anyone who needs a brief and clear introduction to sociology in its broadest sense; it will be especially valuable to those studying the subject for the first time. Abram de Swaan is chairman of the Amsterdam School of Social Science Research (ASSR.
