Character and Social Structure

"Character And Social Structure" uses the dual perspectives of biology and social psychology to examine man's institutional structures, his acquired attitudes, and the interaction of the individual and society. In a brilliant and bold synthesis of much hitherto-scattered data, the authors give new meaning to the continuing debate over the relative importance of heredity and environment. "Character And Social Structure" was originally published by Harcourt, Brace & World in 1953 as a cloth-cover text, and it has since attracted a worldwide audience.
