Sinossi
Composed of papers presented at the 1984 meeting of the American Sociological Association, The Social Fabric addresses the question `how is the social order possible?'. Presenting research and theory regarding the nature of social order and social processes and the contexts in which social life takes place, this volume examines the most fundamental issues of social science. The contributors also put forward bold proposals for improving the nature of social life and apply these new insights to such problems as the nuclear arms issue and world war.
