In a Fix
By Arnaldo Momigliano
Social Change and History: Aspects of the Western Theory of Development
by Robert A. Nisbet
Oxford, 335 pp., $1.95 (paper)
Each of the two latest books by Professor R.A. Nisbet, The Sociological Tradition (1966) and Social Change and History (1969) makes its point forcefully. But taken together the two books seem to me to contradict each other at least in part. In any case I feel that the eminent sociologist of the University of California will need a third book to explain the implications of these two.
