Can we understand important social issues by studyingindividual personalities and decisions? Or are societies somehowmore than the people in them? Sociologists have long believed thatpsychology can't explain what happens when people work together incomplex modern societies. In contrast, most psychologists andeconomists believe that if we have an accurate theory of howindividuals make choices and act on them, we can explain prettymuch everything about social life. Social Emergence takes a newapproach to these longstanding questions. Sawyer argues thatsocieties are complex dynamical systems, and that the best way toresolve these debates is by developing the concept of emergence,focusing on multiple levels of analysis - individuals,interactions, and groups - and with a dynamic focus on how socialgroup phenomena emerge from communication processes amongindividual members. This book makes a unique contribution not onlyto complex systems research but also to social theory.

In the 1950s, a series of dams was proposed along the BrazosRiver in north-central Texas. For John Graves, this project meantthat if the stream’s regimen was thus changed, the beautiful andsometimes brutal surrounding countryside would also change, aswould the lives of the people whose rugged ancestors had eked outan existence there. Graves therefore decided to visit that stretchof the river, which he had known intimately as a youth. Goodbye to a River is his account of that farewell canoevoyage. As he braves rapids and fatigue and the fickle autumnweather, he muses upon old blood feuds of the region and violentskirmishes with native tribes, and retells wild stories of courageand cowardice and deceit that shaped both the river’s people andthe land during frontier times and later. Nearly half a centuryafter its initial publication, Goodbye to a River is a trueAmerican classic, a vivid narrative about an exciting journey and apowerful tribute to a vanishing way of life and its ever-changingnatural env
