{"product_id":"historical-sociology-philip-abrams-9780801415784","title":"Historical Sociology","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book argues that history and sociology share the same vital preoccupation: the desire to unravel the puzzle of human agency. How do large-scale social transformations occur, and what is the role of the individual in them? Phil Abrams devotes three chapters to the development of industrialism and scrutinizes, in that connection, the theories of Marx, Weber, and Durkheim. Subsequent chapters consider Talcott Parsons and the debate on \"convergence\"; the formation of \"states\"; the idea of the \"event\" as a legitimate concern of history and sociology; individuals and sociological generations; deviancy and revolution; and a final chapter on the limits of historical sociology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Abrams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801415780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801415784\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/1983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.00d","brand":"Philip Abrams","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48621788758271,"sku":"9780801415784","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/historical-sociology-philip-abrams-9780801415784","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
