Book description: Chicago, IL, U.S.A: University of Chicago Press, 1979. Hard Cover. Good/None. This is a collection of macrosociological studies of national development that grew out of research conducted at Stanford University; these studies examine global patterns of educational, political, and economic changes from 1950 to 1970; the authors view these changes from two perspectives: the institutional, which identifies normative and symbolic constraints on organized social activity, and the ecological, which focuses on various material, interactional, and relational constraints; the premise of these studies is that in a global economic system external factors are as important as internal factors in influencing the educational, political, and economic changes of a nation (yellow cloth with black lettering, two small tears and creases at top of spine, otherwise a good, clean, tight copy)
