A Theory of Catastrophe

Sociology has developed theories of social change in the fields of evolution, conflict and modernization, viewing modern society as essentially unstable and conflict driven. However, it has not seriously studied catastrophes: the total breakdown of society. A Theory of Catastrophe develops a sociology of catastrophes through historical examples, comparing natural and political causes and the social theories that might offer explanations.
