Between Sex and Power Family in the World 1900-2000

"[T]his is a great work of historical intellect and imagination. It is the fruit of a rare combination of gifts. Trained as a sociologist, Therborn is a highly conceptual thinker, allying the formal rigor of his discipline at its best with a command of a vast range of empirical data. The result is a powerful theoretical structure, supported by a fascinating body of evidence. But it is also a set of micronarratives that compose perhaps the first true example we possess of a work of global history."Therborn, Goran is the author of 'Between Sex and Power Family in the World 1900-2000' with ISBN 9780415300773 and ISBN 0415300770.
