James A. Coleman

    James Samuel Coleman fu un sociologo e teorico americano la cui opera ha plasmato in modo significativo la sociologia dell'educazione e la politica pubblica. È riconosciuto come uno dei primi sostenitori del concetto di "capitale sociale", e i suoi quadri teorici hanno posto le basi per ricerche successive nel campo. I suoi studi hanno esaminato le dinamiche della società adolescenziale e il ruolo cruciale dell'istruzione, con rapporti fondamentali che hanno trasformato la teoria educativa e le politiche nazionali riguardanti l'uguaglianza e la produttività negli Stati Uniti.

      BOOK CIRCLE is a fast-moving, action-packed story about a real, notorious gang of teenagers. They cared little about who they stomped, what vandalism they did, or whose car they swiped in their attempts to get back at the "codger" and "bags" of the community.The inside details of the many jobs they pulled, how the kids behave toward each other, and what they really think of adults is plainly revealed.Although the story is about teenagers and written for teenagers it is a gutsy book and not for the squeamish or chicken-hearted. The story will "turn off" most adults but it is MUST reading for those parents who refuse to understand their teenagers as a lesson in what can happen if their kids finally "tune them out".AUTHOR A. Coleman is a retired college physics professor. However, he has spent a good deal of time as an unpaid street worker helping troubled youths, especially those who organized into street gangs. The CIRCLE is a fictionalised story of one of these gangs. Coleman is also a well-established author of science books for the layman.
