Description

Book Synopsis
This book argues that history and sociology share the same vital preoccupation: the desire to unravel the puzzle of human agency.

Trade Review

Abrams is genial and persuasive in arguing that history must be sociological, and sociology historical, if they are to pursue their respective missions well. It is an important addition to the discourse across these tribal boundaries.
