P. Gisbert's comprehensive book has proved of great use to both students and teachers of sociology. The third edition is especially detailed in the parts dealing with the economic system and industry, population and food supply, where the greatest changes have occurred over the decades. Among the useful chapters are those on socialization and social control, and on industry as an agent of social change. Due importance is given to forces such as industrialization and the Green Revolution that have helped to shape modern Indian society.
