It gives an account of his pioneering use of the methods of observational sociology and shows how his work was an important contribution to the genesis and early evolution of some principal doctrines of sociological theory. The book's main theme consists of a detailed and impartial analysis of the most significant feature of Le Play's thought - the problem of the relationships between sociology and technology.
