Excellent source for understanding sociocultural change

I use this book in my college course of Sociocultural Change. Though it was originally written in 1974, it is relevant for understanding current changes in the world. It reviews the major concepts about change, and includes an evaluation of different ideas from a social science perspective. The strengths of the book are that it clarifies change in terms of integrated systems and examines how such systems change. General reviews of sociocultural change are not readily available, so this is a relevant source.
