"Unraveling Ties" is a unique addition to current debates in sociology - a compilation of essays mapping the creation of community life in a modern world that often appears alienating, cold, and even threatening.

The result is a thoughtful, meticulously researched volume that will be useful to sociologists, economists, and anyone interested in the creation of community in a decentralized and rapidly globalizing world. |
