The sociology of community by Jessie Bernard

Written as an adjunct text for undergraduate sociology students in 1973, this book sits on the cusp of a paradigm shift in sociology. The author is well aware of the issues and uses the text to explicate the old paradigms and the problems with them. Fine if you're interested in the history of sociology, but not very helpful if you're interested in current thinking of communities.
