Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents social engineering as an important force for bettering human society, especially in the context of the increasingly socialized consciousness of modern communities. The author places this within a greater historical background, wherein social concerns have found new ways to organize and mobilize their energies and resources. The book discusses the growing demand for social reforms and how they have impacted the work of religious and community leaders, as well as the need for trained professionals to manage the growing complexity of these efforts. Beyond organizing the resources available for social good, this book emphasizes the importance of the social engineer: one who can motivate and direct various groups within the community, and keep them operating with maximum efficiency. The insights provided in this book will be of great value not only to organizers and administrators in church and community work but also to anyone seeking to understand the social currents shaping modern society.
