Ebook: The Sociology of Revolution

“This is a book written in 1925 by the former Russian sociologist Pitirim Sorokin, who after being jailed and almost executed during the Russian revolution, was allowed to leave the country and come the United States. The detail of data that Dr. Sorokin goes into can inhibit appreciating the overall genius that he brought to sociology, but which was basically ignored until the 1960s. … [T]hanks to Talcott Parsons, the field of sociology has lost 80 years of useful development and is only now recovering. This is an excellent book from both a historical perspective and from the perspective of appreciating the concept of social space and the beginnings of a social model that supports Network Theory and social dynamical system modeling.”
