William Graham Sumner's "Folkways: A Study of the Sociological Importance of Usages, Manners, Customs, Mores, and Morals" remains a foundational text in the fields of sociology and cultural anthropology. This meticulously prepared edition allows readers to explore Sumner's groundbreaking analysis of social norms and their profound impact on human behavior. Delving into the origins and evolution of customs, "Folkways" examines how seemingly insignificant habits and traditions shape moral codes and societal structures.

His work provides insights into the development of ethical frameworks and the influence of cultural norms on individual lives. A cornerstone of social science, "Folkways" offers a comprehensive study of manners and customs, providing a framework for understanding the complex interplay between individual actions and collective beliefs.
