C. Harris’s ‘Changing conceptions of the relation between family and societal form’ (in Scase: \u003ci\u003eIndustrial Society: Class, Cleavage and Control\u003c\/i\u003e). In that article Harris attempted to relate traditional research on the family to recent developments in historical enquiry and Marxist scholarship. The aim of \u003ci\u003eThe Family and Industrial Society\u003c\/i\u003e is to explain the character of the contemporary family by placing it in a wider historical and theoretical perspective. It is therefore directed at the undergraduate student for whom the ‘sociology of the family’, as a topic, has for too long been relatively unrelated to those contemporary developments in sociological thought and practice which inform other substantive areas of sociological work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe late C.C. Harris is perhaps best known for his best-selling introductory text \u003ci\u003eThe Family: An Introduction\u003c\/i\u003e, first published in 1969. This new text was not, however, a straightforward replacement of an earlier book by a more up-to-date volume. Far too much had happened in sociology, in social studies and in family life itself, for a simple updating to make any sense. \u003ci\u003eThe Family \u003c\/i\u003ewas primarily a descriptive introduction, and was a presentation, albeit critical, of an orthodoxy. While this new book retains an introductory element based upon \u003ci\u003eThe Family\u003c\/i\u003e’s earlier chapters, the greater part of it is exploratory and assumes a higher level of sophistication and sociological understanding; it is also substantially longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr Harris was singularly well qualified to write a volume of this kind. Not only had he conducted and was conducting empirical research into the family, but his wide theoretical interests rendered him uniquely well placed to contribute to the theoretical development of his field. Few sociologists shared his familiarity with both anthropological and historical work. He was thoroughly familiar with the now unfashionable structural functional approach of which he had always been critical, but was enthusiastic about the potentialities of contemporary developments. The result is a sophisticated text which combines instruction, criticism, interpretation and exploration in one volume; which familiarises the student with the fundamental work of the past (too often neglected) and explores exciting new developments for the future. It also includes the only general discussion of change in the British family since the last edition of Fletcher’s \u003ci\u003eThe Family and Marriage in Britain\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52343183278353,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52343187013905,"sku":"NLS9781032105031","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781032105031.jpg?v=1758173411"},{"product_id":"family-book-c-c-harris-9781032100302","title":"The Family","description":"Originally published in 1969, this introduction to the social study of the family was designed both for students of sociology and for students of related subjects requiring familiarity with a similar approach. It is therefore written in language as simple as possible; technical terms are only introduced when indispensable and are always defined.  While the book is focused on European and American family systems, the author believed these are intelligible only when placed in a wider context, and so the first part is concerned with kinship, marriage and the family in general. He does not attempt to provide a descriptive account of all the empirical studies available but concentrates on what he considers the chief theoretical problems. In consequence this book is argumentative and critical in approach, and never strays far from the central issues of sociological theory; it is, therefore, of value to both students of sociology and to others interested in the perspective which the discipline can give to the study of the family.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52345289605393,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52345290326289,"sku":"NLS9781032100302","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781032100302.jpg?v=1758175503"},{"product_id":"church-in-wales-book-c-c-harris-9780708315743","title":"The Church in Wales","description":"This study of the Anglican Church in Wales should be of interest to those concerned with the nature of Christianity in contemporary society.
