More about the book
Exploring the gap in sociological theories, this book examines the role of catastrophe in social change, contrasting it with established concepts of evolution, conflict, and modernization. It challenges the notion of modern society as merely unstable and conflict-driven, advocating for a deeper understanding of how catastrophic events shape social dynamics and transformations. By addressing this oversight, the work aims to enrich the field of sociology and provide new insights into the complexities of societal evolution.
