About the Author:
Charles Abram Ellwood (January 20, 1873 – September 25,
1946) was one of the leading American sociologists of the interwar period,
studying intolerance, communication and revolutions and using many
multidisciplinary methods. He graduated from Cornell University in 1896 and
studied also at the Universities of Chicago and Berlin. For one year, he was
lecturer and instructor at the University of Nebraska and in 1900 became
professor of sociology at the University of Missouri. He became also advisory
editor of the American Journal of Sociology and associate editor of the Journal
of Criminal Law and Criminology. In 1904 he served as president of the Missouri
Confederated Charities. He was the fourteenth president of the American
Sociological Association in 1924. He spent the first 30 years of his career and
rose to national prominence at the University of Missouri-Columbia before a
15-year tenure at Duke University.
About the Book:
This book is intended as an elementary text in sociology as applied to modern social problems, for use in institutions where but a short time can be given to the subject, in courses in sociology where it is desired to combine it with a study of current social problems on the one hand, and to correlate it with a course in economics on the other. The book is also especially suited for use in University Extension Courses and in Teachers' Reading Circles.
This book aims to teach the simpler principles of sociology concretely and inductively. In Chapters I to VIII the elementary principles of sociology are stated and illustrated, chiefly through the study of the origin, development, structure, and functions of the family considered as a typical human institution; while in Chapters IX to XV certain special problems are considered in the light of these general principles.
