Book Synopsis Community and Society by : Ferdinand Tonnies
Download or read book Community and Society written by Ferdinand Tonnies and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This extraordinary prescient work by Ferdinand Toennies was written in 1887 for a small coterie of scholars, and over the next fifty years continued to grow in importance and adherents. Its translator into English, Charles P. Loomis, well described it as a volume which pointed back into the Middle Ages and ahead into the future in its attempt to answer the questions: "What are we? Where are we? Whence did we come? Where are we going?" If the questions seem portentous in the extreme, the answers Toennies provides are modest and compelling. Every major field from sociology, to psychology, to anthropology, has found this to be a praiseworthy book. The admirable translation by Professor Loomis did much to transfer praise for the Toennies text from the German to the English-speaking world. Now, outfitted with a brilliant new opening essay by John Samples, the author of a recent full-scale biographical work on Toennies, 'Community and Society' is back in print; a welcome reminder of the glorious past of German social science.
Book Synopsis Volume 1: Community and Society by : Doucet, Brian
Download or read book Volume 1: Community and Society written by Doucet, Brian and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2021-07-22 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our experiences of the city are dependent on our gender, race, class, age, ability, and sexual orientation. It was already clear before the pandemic that cities around the world were divided and becoming increasingly unequal. The pandemic has torn back the curtain on many of these pre-existing inequalities. Contributions to this volume engage directly with different urban communities around the world. They give voice to those who experience poverty, discrimination and marginalisation in order to put them in the front and center of planning, policy, and political debates that make and shape cities. Offering crucial insights for reforming cities to be more resilient to future crises, this is an invaluable resource for scholars and policy makers alike.

Book Synopsis The Community in Urban Society by : Larry Lyon
Download or read book The Community in Urban Society written by Larry Lyon and published by Waveland Press. This book was released on 2011-12-16 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The community is more than an abstract object of theoretical inquiry. It is also a place where people live. It is difficult to determine where community research and theory merge, because the community is a unique place where theory and the real world come together. Local conditions change and new research techniques emerge. In the second edition of The Community in Urban Society, the authors solve this problem by distilling the historic and foundational theories of community, applying traditional approaches (typology, ecology, systems theory, and conflict theory) to current conditions, and exploring new and relevant theories that impact todays communities. The latest edition also examines recent and emerging technologies that facilitate examination and evaluation of the modern community condition. Updated coverage includes topics such as New Urbanism, modern network analysis methods, the urban political economy approach to community, the growth machine approach, GIS mapping, recent holistic studies, cyberspace communities, and up-to-date discussions of community indicator studies, quality of life, community power, and regime politics.

Even after the passage of many years, American Society imparts a remarkably provocative interpretation of US society and a creative approach to social theory.
Book Synopsis A Functioning Society by : Peter F. Drucker
Download or read book A Functioning Society written by Peter F. Drucker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter F. Drucker may be best known as a writer on business and management, but these subjects were not his foremost intellectual concern. Drucker's primary concerns were community, in which the individual has status, and society, in which the individual has function. Here he has assembled selections from his vast writings on these subjects. This collection presents the full range of Drucker's thought on community, society, and political structure and constitutes an ideal introduction to his ideas.The volume is divided into seven parts. The selections in parts 1 and 2 were mostly written during World War Two and in the wake of the Great Depression. Part 3 deals with the limits of governmental competence in the social and economic realm. It contains some of Drucker's most influential writings concerned with the difference between big government and effective government. The chapters in part 4 explore autonomous centers of power outside government and within society. Part 5 contains chapters from Drucker's path-breaking work on the corporation as a social organization rather than merely an economic one. The rise of the so-called "knowledge industries" forms the background for part 6. The concluding part 7 is devoted entirely to Drucker's long essay "The Next Society." Drucker examines the emergence of new institutions and new theories arising from the information revolution and the social changes they are helping to bring about.In organizing these representative writings, Drucker chose to be topical rather than chronological, with each excerpt presenting a basic theme of his life's work. As is characteristic of his efforts, A Functioning Society appeals both the general reader as well as a cross-disciplinary scholarly readership.
Book Synopsis Archives for Maintaining Community and Society in the Digital Age by : Keiji Fujiyoshi
Download or read book Archives for Maintaining Community and Society in the Digital Age written by Keiji Fujiyoshi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-12 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how a society accepts and utilizes a system of archives to improve the quality of people’s lives at each level of community, organization, and government. This is the first book that examines the political, economic, and social background that has prevented the development of archival systems in Japan in comparison with other societies of different cultures such as the United States, Romania, India, and Korea. An archival system is an indispensable tool to live in the present and create a future by sharing an understanding of the past. For that reason, this book considers what “respecting the past” means from the point of view that people experience in their workplace to reconcile tragic experiences such as conflict, injustice, or corruption. Then the book shows how a system of archives plays a significant role in a democratic society because it serves as a foundation of evidence-based decision making for a specific group or the public. Thus, this volume provides guidance for ways that a society can build a common understanding of the importance of sharing the past to maintain community and society.
Book Synopsis Community, Home, and Identity by : Professor Michael Diamond
Download or read book Community, Home, and Identity written by Professor Michael Diamond and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2012-10-28 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community, home, and identity are concepts that have concerned scholars in a variety of fields for some time. Legal scholars, sociologists, anthropologists, psychologists, and economists, among others, have studied the impacts of home and community on one's identity and how one's identity is manifested in one's home and in one's community. This volume brings together some of the leading thinkers about the connections between community, home and identity. Several chapters address how the law and lawyers contribute (or detract) from the creation and maintenance of community and, in some cases, the conscious destruction of communities. Others examine the protection of individual and group identities through rules related to property title and use of such things as Home and 'identity property'.
Download or read book Community Works written by E.J. Dionne and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 1998-06-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America is experiencing a boom of voluntarism and civic mindedness. Community groups are working together to clean up their cities and neighborhoods. People are rejoining churches, civic associations, and Little Leagues. And, at every opportunity, local and national leaders are exhorting citizens to pitch in and do their part. Why has the concept of a civil society--an entire nation of communities, associations, civic and religious groups, and individuals all working toward the common good--become so popular? Why is so much hope being invested in the voluntary sector? Why is a civil society so important to us? This book looks at the growing debate over the rise, importance, and consequences of civil society. E.J. Dionne puts the issues of the debate in perspective and explains the deep-rooted developments that are reflected in civil society's revival. Alan Wolfe and Jean Bethke Elshtain discuss reasons why the idea of a civil society is important today. Theda Skocpol and William A. Schambra offer two opposing viewpoints on where successful voluntary civic action originates--nationally or at the local grass roots. John J. DiIulio Jr. shines a light on the success of faith-based programs in the inner-city, and Bruce Katz studies the problems caused by concentrated poverty in those same neighborhoods. Jane Eisner underscores the extent to which the volunteer sector needs organization and support to effectively complete its work. Other contributors include Bill Bradley, William A. Galston, and Gertrude Himmelfarb.

Book Synopsis Law, Society and Community by : Richard Nobles
Download or read book Law, Society and Community written by Richard Nobles and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of socio-legal studies, written by leading theorists and researchers from around the world, offers original, perceptive and critical contributions to ideas and theories that have been expounded by Roger Cotterrell over a long and distinguished career. Engaging with many classic issues and theories of the sociology of law, the contributions are likely to become classics themselves as they tackle some of the most significant challenges that modern law faces. They do not shy away from what one of the contributors describes as the complexity and multiplicity of our contemporary legal world. The book is organized in three parts: socio-legal themes; methodological and jurisprudential themes; globalization, cultural and comparative law themes. Starting with a chapter that re-engages with the need to interpret legal ideas sociologically, and ending with one that explores the global significance of modern fascination with the idea of the rule of law, this selection offers important additions to the oeuvre of Roger Cotterrell (a list of whose academic writings is included in the book).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is both important and timely. Written by practitioners who are also academics, the book combines solid research, observation and practical experience that speak forcefully to the need for both local place-based development and greater citizen involvement. The examples they give of successful local efforts to renew neighborhoods demonstrate that change is possible and that resources are available for such purposes. Patricia W. Murphy and James V. Cunningham have provided a roadmap for rebuilding many of our communities and for strengthening the foundations of our democracy."
Book Synopsis The Community Manifesto by : Scott Hankins
Download or read book The Community Manifesto written by Scott Hankins and published by Scott Hankins & Luciano Lucia. This book was released on 2021-01-03 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humanity is at a dead end. We have exhausted all possible methods and social structures to create a peaceful balance between our differences. The world is in decline and everyone knows it. This world needs unity, but how do we unite if we are all so different? This book was written to aid humanity in its vital pursuit to come to this sensation of unity. For millennia, a small few has known about a method that can unite us all but the general public had no desire for it…until now. The world senses how we are all connected. Science and technology have given us deep insights into this interconnected reality. However, our attitudes and behaviors don’t reflect this reality. If we did, the old axiom of “love thy neighbor as thyself” would reign supreme in our hearts and perceptions of each other. If you desire to come closer to your fellow man, above the differences, with the feeling of unity dominating your thoughts and emotions, this manifesto is written for you.
