Reviews
"Toennies' great classic serves to bring a much needed addition to the American shelves of sociological theory. Toennies may now be better understood as a sociologist who sought to study and thoroughly analyze the social nature of man and the 'things' which result from social life." --Sociology and Social Life. "Toennies' typology has provided a focus for American anthropologists and sociologists in their work on problems of social change. Perhaps of the most general significance, however, are Toennies' basic statements on the use of normal concepts in empirical analysis, from which Max Weber's 'ideal-typical' method received its impetus." --Contemporary Psychology. "Toennies' fundamental insight into the types of social organization and their influence on the corresponding types of personality and culture has been generally accepted. Durkheim's work and Redfield's folk-urban typology reflect the influence of his thought. Community and Society is a rich, seminal work which will repay careful study by students of theoretical anthropology and sociology." --The American Anthropologist.
Synopsis
This extraordinary prescient work by Ferdinand Toennies was written in 1887 for a small coterie of scholars, and over the next fifty years continued to grow in importance and adherents. Its translator into English, Charles P. Loomis, well described it as a volume which pointed back into the Middle Ages and ahead into the future in its attempt to answer the questions: "What are we? Where are we? Whence did we come? Where are we going?" If the questions seem portentous in the extreme, the answers Toennies provides are modest and compelling. Every major field from sociology, to psychology, to anthropology, has found this to be a praiseworthy book. The admirable translation by Professor Loomis did much to transfer praise for the Toennies text from the German to the English-speaking world. Now, outfitted with a brilliant new opening essay by John Samples, the author of a recent full-scale biographical work on Toennies, 'Community and Society' is back in print; a welcome reminder of the glorious past of German social science.

    This seller is so good!! This was my second purchase (so far) and I am beyond satisfied. Both this and my previous purchase were priced incredibly fairly and arrived in better condition than listed/described. Wow!!! The order was packed safely and arrived about a week after placing it. You could not ask for more from a seller. Highest recommendation. Thank you.

    Blazingly fast shipping!! I was very impressed with the accuracy of the description. What I visualized was exactly what I received. The "good" disc looks new IMHO and plays perfectly. Great price and even the sleeve was included. Packaging was very sturdy. Excellent service all around. What more can you ask for. Highly recommended seller!
