Editorial Review Product Description The urban world is a provocative terrain on which to contemplate the central institutions, structures and problems of the social world and how they have transformed over the last 200 years. This Reader traverses this terrain through sections on urban social theory, social difference in the city, culture in everyday life, culture and the urban economy, globalization and the world system and urban social movements. Drawing together seminal selections covering the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries, this Reader includes forty significant writings from eminent names such as Simmel, Wirth, Park, Burgess, Zukin, Sassen, Smith and Castells.

Student Purchase
Powerful, passionate, and compelling A great strength of the book is Kramer's historical perspective on gender issues.She notes that we are now in the "third wave" of feminist activism, and she shows how definitions of "problems" and "solutions" have changed over the past 100 years."Femininity" and "masculinity" are not fixed categories but rather have evolved as American culture and social structure have changed.Underlying much of her analysis is the assumption that economic forces, especially changing employment opportunities, account for a great deal of the change in gender ideology and politics. Students will find the 5 page glossary of key terms and the 16 page references section invaluable for further research.Each chapter ends with 3 discussion questions.Non-students will learn much from Kramer's lucid explanations and detailed examples.She cares deeply about the issues in this book, and it shows. ...

Editorial Review Product Description The Handbook of Economic Sociology, Second Edition is the most comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of economic sociology available. The first edition, copublished in 1994 by Princeton University Press and the Russell Sage Foundation as a synthesis of the burgeoning field of economic sociology, soon established itself as the definitive presentation of the field, and has been widely read, reviewed, and adopted. Since then, the field of economic sociology has continued to grow by leaps and bounds and to move into new theoretical and empirical territory. The second edition, while being as all-embracing in its coverage as the first edition, represents a wholesale revamping. Neil Smelser and Richard Swedberg have kept the main overall framework intact, but nearly two-thirds of the chapters are new or have new authors. As in the first edition, they bring together leading sociologists as well as representatives of other social sciences. But the thirty chapters of this volume incorporate many substantial thematic changes and new lines of research--for example, more focus on international and global concerns, chapters on institutional analysis, the transition from socialist economies, organization and networks, and the economic sociology of the ancient world. The Handbook of Economic Sociology, Second Edition is the definitive resource on what continues to be one of the leading edges of sociology and one of its most important interdisciplinary adventures. It is a must read for all faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates doing work in the field. Customer Reviews (1)

Editorial Review Product Description “A great source for kinesthetic learning activities. I’ve used the book for designing my course for multiple learning styles.” Accompanied by High-Quality Ancillaries! Intended Audience Customer Reviews (2)
Teacher's Guide
Wonderful Resource for Active Learning Oriented Instructors Each set of short instructions follows the same format: rationale, instructions on actually doing the exercise, and how it will be graded.Some exercises require worksheets, which are included.The exercises were contributed by faculty who actually developed and tested them, and so most of the bugs have already been worked out.Instructors who use these exercises can modify them to suit their own classes, but they are so well-designed that I suspect most will just use them "as is." The accompanying instructor's manual is an absolute necessity. The table of contents gives a short description of each exercise, as well as a chart indicating whether the exercise is for individuals or groups, and how much time is needed for the exercise.Each contributor has provided several pages of background for each exercise, following the same format: history and context, purpose, instructions for facilitating the exercise, other suggestions, and hints about time use. An entire introductory sociology course could be designed around this book, or entire sections of it could be used for specific courses, e.g. on stratification or social movements.With this book and some rich supplementary readings, your students would probably not need a textbook. The authors have provided a wonderful resource for those of us teaching from an active-learning perspective.I highly recommend the book AND the instructor's manual. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description This comprehensive and bestselling reader examines the most pressing topics in sociology and education while exposing students to examples of sociological research on schools. Drawing from classic and contemporary scholarship, noted sociologist Alan R. Sadovnik has chosen readings that examine current issues and reflect diverse theoretical approaches to studying the effects of schooling and society. The second edition provides students with seven new readings from some of the best theorists and researchers in education including James S. Coleman, Madeleine Arnot, and Claudia Buchman. Through full, rather than excerpted primary source readings, students have the opportunity to read sociological research as it is written and engage in critical analyses of readings in their entirety. Including comprehensive section introductions, questions for reflection and discussion, and suggested readings, Sociology of Education will stimulate student thinking about the important roles that schools play in contemporary society and their ability to solve fundamental social, economic and political problems.

Editorial Review Product Description For undergraduate/graduate courses in the Sociology of Religion in departments of Sociology; and for courses such as Religious Perspectives on Social Issues in departments of Theology. A reader that seeks to explore the relationship between the structure and culture of religion and various elements of social life in the U.S. Sociology of Religion: A Reader, 2e is ideal as either a standalone reader or supplement to the text written by the same author team, Why Religion Matters. Based on both classic and contemporary research in the sociology of religion, this reader highlights a variety of research methods and theoretical approaches. It explores the ways in which religious values, beliefs and practices shape the world outside of church, synagogue, or mosque walls while simultaneously being shaped by the non-religious forces operating in that world. |

Editorial Review Product Description General readers may be put off by a hefty tome with chapters given such titles as "The Post-revolutionary Condition: Boundaries and Philosophical Puzzles" (which includes the subsection "The Vienna Circle as a Nexus of Struggles"), but those with a dedicated interest in the history of philosophy will find much to enjoy in the multicultural examples Collins draws upon. Ancient China, classical Greece, medieval Islam, and the French existentialists are just the tip of the iceberg illustrating his theory that intellectual progress is made through the personal interaction of philosophers and other thinkers. "Great intellectual work," Collins writes, "is that which creates a large space on which followers can work," and The Sociology of Philosophies certainly qualifies. --Ron Hogan Customer Reviews (11)
Comprehensive and painstaking
A beginner's guide
A new way to view philosophy
Great classroom reference
Reading Global History of Philosophy With a Thesis First, each section on a particular philosophical tradition (e.g. ancient Greece, Indian, Medieval Islamic, Chinese, Modern) is an interesting high-level history of tradition in its own rights.This alone makes the price tag worthwhile. More importantly, Collins included very interesting insights about individual period that is not covered by other general histories: With these characteristics, I think this book clearly satisfies the need us interested in global history of philosophy, for which Collins is clearly very passionate about. On the sociology theoretical piece, I think the theory is fine: it articulates a lot of aspects of which most students of philosophy has a vague sense.The theory is almost 'common sense'-- just that it doesn't seem to have been clearly articulated that way in academic circles.As such, the theory piece is less interesting, but it is not intruding and it provides a sound umbrella thesis for Collins' insights on individual traditions. Lastly, one point about the 'data' that Collins use-- the 'maps' that link the different philosophers in networks.I think it is interesting to read (because it includes a lot of interesting names-- familiar or otherwise), but they don't really provide the 'data' on which the sociological theory can be based. I think Collins himself recognized this-- and thus his appendix about the important 'isolates' like Ibn Sina. ... Read more |

excellent college paper source

Written over 30 years ago, but still relevant today. Although written long ago (first copyrighted in 1963) thematerial is still revlevant to today's social world.Becker begins thiswork by defining deviance, how others define deviance, and what classifiesone as deviant. As a particular case example Becker examines the issue ofmarihuana users (see the relevance?).He discusses how one becomes amarihuana user, how they learn their techinques, how a user becomes arepart of a group, and why a user may become labeled a deviant, i.e. thewhole process of going from what is "normal" to being whatsociety has defined as "deviant". Other topics discussed arelabeling theory and moral entrepreneurs. The later refers to those peoplein society who benefit from labeling a group or particular type of behavioras deviant.A very interesting topic, one I think that isn't discussedvery often. The only weekness the book has is the case study written ondance musicians which compriseschapters 5 and 6.These chapters discusspeople who made their living as dance musicians during the late 1940s and Ifound it difficult to connect with just because of the time frame.Perhapsother readers will not suffer such a handicap. Bottom line: A greatbook! A must have for sociology majors or those people who make orinfluence social policy and laws. ... Read more |
