Rural Communities: Legacy and Change uses its unique Community Capitals framework to examine how America's diverse rural communities use their various capitals (natural, cultural, human, social, political, financial, and built) to address the modern challenges that face them. Each chapter opens with a case study of a community facing a particular challenge, and is followed by a comprehensive discussion of sociological concepts to be applied to understanding the case. This narrative, topical approach makes the book accessible and engaging for undergraduate students, while its integrative approach provides them with a framework for understanding rural society based on the concepts and explanations of social science. This fifth edition is updated throughout with 2013 census data and features new and expanded coverage of health and health care, food systems and alternatives, the effects of neoliberalism and globalization on rural communities, as well as an expanded resource and activity section at the end of each chapter.Sociology, RuralUnited StatesRural conditionsSociology, Rural.307.72SOC026020bisacshFlora Cornelia Butler1320483Flora Jan L.1941-1846664Gasteyer Stephen P1846665FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910969938503321Rural Communities4431422UNINA
