It is claimed for Professor Ross that he interests especially sociological heresy-hunters; it is also claimed that in this new work this same following will find difficulty in singling out any censurable utterances. It treats of the scope and task of sociology, the sociological frontier of economics, social laws, “mob mind,” the social forces, the factors of social change, recent tendencies in sociology, the causes of race superiority, “The value rank of the American people,” “The properties of group units,” and “The unit of investigation in sociology.”
“This book is, on the whole, devoted to the method, rather than to the content, of knowledge. It does much in the way of clearing the cobwebs out of the sociological skies. It is, however, a general survey rather than a treatise. The present volume can hardly fail to serve, for some time to come, as one of the most effective path-breakers in sociological inquiry.” Albion W. Small.
