Change is inevitable, as is the need to understand it. In the social sciences the need to understand change seems particularly acute, and practitioners are applying a range of new ways to evaluate change, finds its causes and track it over time and space. This collection offers three or more articles on each of six leading models of change, including chaos and order in climate change, genetic variations in evolution, path dependency within the economics of continuity, institutional inertia, the multilinear modernization of societies, and political history as constellations of contingency. The 20 articles work together so readers can find correlation that applies to their own particular course of study; for example, the articles of chaos include such topics as chaos in social systems v. chaos in economics when intermixed with environmental complexity.
