| This is the third edition of a work previously published under the title Introduction to Macrosociology. |
| The author of this book, Bernard Ebbinghaus, is described on its jacket as a Professor of Macrosociology. |
| Intended for legal scholars and those interested in the applied macrosociology, this volume is well referenced and contains numerous charts and copious notes. |
| Only a few sociologists have developed structural theories that apply to institutions and whole societies an approach known as macrosociology. |
| The authors conclude with a revised look at future trends in macrosociology, such as the consumption of natural resources and the move toward global economies. |
