Description

Originally published in 1988, The Rhythms of Society reflects the time-obsessed age we lived in when it was written. The contributors, drawn from a range of disciplines, develop a common sociological approach to examine time in a range of cultures, sub-cultures and historical periods. With time even more of an issue now, this can be read today with an eye to the future.
About

Michael (Dunlop) Young (1915–2002) was a sociologist, social activist and politician, who was known for his Bethnal Green Studies. He was founder of the Institute of Community Studies, now a division of the Young Foundation. He was given a life peerage in 1978 and sat in the House of Lords as Baron Young of Dartington.

Tom Schuller was Senior Lecturer in Continuing Education at the University of Warwick at the time of publication. He had worked at OECD in Paris, the University of Glasgow and the Institute of Community Studies in London.
