World Society by Georg Krcken
This book brings together some of Meyer's widely-scattered work, reviewing four decades of scholarship, and adding several original pieces from his current work. It gathers substantive commentary on social processes, from stratification to globalization to socialization, and on key social institutions, from science to religion to law to education.
