The Blackwell dictionary of sociology
a user's guide to sociological language
by Allan G. Johnson
- 8 Want to read
Written by a sociologist who is also an accomplished writer and teacher, this is a dictionary of sociology aimed primarily at students, but it will also be of use to professionals looking for an introduction to core concepts outside their areas of expertise. It is unique in its combination of lucid prose, engaging examples, a single author's voice, and its minimal assumptions about the average reader's prior knowledge of sociology and related fields, such as philosophy and economics.

Work Description
"This new edition of Allan G. Johnson's one-volume dictionary includes 75 new entries, as well as an expanded biographical section, extensive revisions and updates, and more thorough cross-referencing. The combination of clear prose, engaging examples, a single author's voice, and minimal assumptions about the average reader's prior knowledge of the field, makes this a distinctive and valuable reference work.".
"Johnson defines amorphous and fuzzy sociological concepts in a lively and sensible way and his book provides an introduction to what it means to think sociologically. For a deeper understanding of social life, and of the only discipline dedicated to making sense of it in all its diversity, this dictionary is a perfect guide."--BOOK JACKET.
