description: From the Caves to Readings in Historical and Comparative Sociology provides an overview and social investigation of the societies and cultures that comprise world history. The anthology relates historical and contemporary non-industrial societies to the concerns of the social sciences with the intention of providing an insight into the ways of life, states of mind, customs, social practices and structures of such societies and to the processes which cause social change. The book offers a descriptive survey of diverse social systems and also scans a series of key topics that are relevant to issues raised by sociological and anthropological forms of analysis.
