In his newest book, leading social theorist Jonathan H. Turner offers a creative, richly grounded reinterpretation of social evolution.

Combining the macro-, micro- and mesodynamics of sociological theory, this volume presents a comprehensive general theory of social reality. New insights are presented, while creating a new theoretical framework for studying social dynamics.

This book explores the effects of microdynamics, such as interactions among individuals, on larger social systems, from corporate and categoric units to institutional domains, stratification systems, community networks, societies, and inter-societal systems.
