"Character And Social Structure" uses the dual perspectives of biology and social psychology to examine man's institutional structures, his acquired attitudes, and the interaction of the individual and society. In a brilliant and bold synthesis of much hitherto-scattered data, the authors give new meaning to the continuing debate over the relative importance of heredity and environment. "Character And Social Structure" was originally published by Harcourt, Brace & World in 1953 as a cloth-cover text, and it has since attracted a worldwide audience.
