Jurgen Habermas, speaking of postmodern society, remarked that extension of the means of communication not only allows a wide range of information, but also encourages permanent connections between different peoples, cultures, and social discourses. It thus facilitates better general understanding. But this process becomes truly positive only when it is performed between equal members. Globalization of information does not minimize the possibility of conflict or terrorism, if fundamental social problems are not resolved. This volume, now available in paperback, examines the major upheavals of the twentieth century. "Values and Cultural Changes in the Postmodern World, " by Zygmunt Bauman, explores the changing meaning of space in the globalizing environment; S.N. Eisenstadt analyzes the destructive components of modernity; and Irving Louis Horowitz draws attention to the classical values of the common universal culture. "Social Development and Policies in Contemporary Society, " by Michael M. Cernea, examines the importance of applied and policy-orientated research, especially in developing countries, and David Marsland stresses the positive role of sociology in improving healthcare in modern society. "Societies in Transition -- Eastern Europe" emphasizes transitions that have occurred in Eastern Europe. Rozalina Rjyvkina and Leonid Kosals provide an incisive study of the situation in Russia, while Jerzy J. Wiatr presents a comparative analysis of postcommunist societies. "The Jewish World: Pre- and Post-Holocaust, " by Regina Azria, discusses the identity problems in the Diaspora confronting modernity; Eva Etzioni-Halevi considers the newly developed Israeli society from the point ofview of the exercise and distribution of power; and Annette Wieviorka's contribution concerns the material and spiritual effects of the Holocaust on the Jews of France.
