Community, A Sociological Study: Being An Attempt To Set Out The Nature And Fundamental Laws Of Social Life is a book written by Robert Morrison Maciver and originally published in 1920. As the title suggests, the book is a sociological study of communities and attempts to provide a comprehensive understanding of the nature and fundamental laws of social life. The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an introduction to the concept of community and its various forms, including rural and urban communities. The second part delves deeper into the fundamental laws of social life, including the role of social norms, values, and institutions in shaping the behavior of individuals within a community. The third part focuses on the challenges and issues faced by communities, such as social conflict and the impact of modernization on traditional communities.Throughout the book, Maciver draws on examples from different cultures and historical periods to illustrate his points. He also engages with the ideas of other prominent sociologists of his time, such as Emile Durkheim and Max Weber.Overall, Community, A Sociological Study provides a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of the nature of communities and the social dynamics that shape them. It remains a seminal work in the field of sociology and is still widely read and cited today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
