Together the chapters harken back to the spirit of the grand theory.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInstead of proposing a grand theory, they provide an excellent foundation for considering the importance of an individual's (or particular group's) context and variability, and discussions to facilitate thinking about what still needs to be worked out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Inc","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46930527715479,"sku":"9780805818253","price":6766.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780805818253.webp?v=1771607502","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/change-and-development-issues-of-theory-method-and-application-9780805818253","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
