Taking the risk it will scare students off, Elwell (sociology, Murray State U.) nevertheless begins with a chapter on social theory, and only tries to make it succinct and clear enough to get through. He then uses the theory to analyze industrial systems, particularly the advanced systems of the US. His topics include structures of authority, economic rationalization, the erosion of commitment, and factual regularities. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
