Description

Explore a major issue of our time through the lens of sociology. Cosmic Society: Towards a Sociology of the Universe provides an original vision and pedagogical text regarding the humanization of outer space. As space weaponry, satellite surveillance, communications, and private space travel become more common, outer space is being incorporated into society's projects. Written by Goran Therborn, University Professor of Sociology at Uppsala University and Professor and Chair of Sociology at the University of Cambridge, this work is recognized by Bryan Turner, Editor of the Cambridge Dictionary of Sociology, as an ambitious and important book in recent sociology. This text examines how the expansion into space affects our social structures and the future of our children. It is an essential read for students and scholars interested in the intersection of anthropology, sociology, and the expanding reach of human activity into the cosmos.
