In order to bring sociology to the recognition of a social world of contingencies and of an obdurate but protean reality that changes shapes as humans define it, Stanford Lyman re-introduces the concept of "civilization," employing it as both an intellectual resource and a proper topic for sociological investigations. The fifteen essays in this collection by one of America's premier sociologists reflect Lyman's concern with all that is meant by the term civilization .
