Society - Its Origin and Development

Henry Rowe was a professor of History and Sociology at Newton Theological Institution. In the preface to Society Its Origin and Development the author states that it is necessary to study a child in his home and environment before we look at society as a whole. Sociology should be studied the same way we study biology by dissecting the whole into parts. This book is an introduction to the study of sociology. The author writes with the undergraduate or lay person in mind. Topics covered in this book are: social life at home, social life in the rural areas, social life in the city, social life in the nation and social analysis.
