Modern Sociology

A companion volume to "New Introducing Sociology," this collection of excerpts from articles and books is selected by leading authorities in sociology. It begins with an overview of different conceptions of sociology from classic writings of Durkheim, Marx, and Weber to modern theorists such as Wirth, Goffman, and Garfinkel, discussing the assumptions underlying those theories and the varied methods they entail, from ethnography to statistical methods of inquiry. The main emphasis is on recent research into modern industrial society, its emergence and spread across the globe, the growth of urbanism and the development of classes, and the position of women and ethnic minorities. It examines the links between the social order and the educational system, the ways in which social relations affect health, and the tensions of contemporary society that result in criminal and deviant behavior. The book concludes with an examination of the major theoretical schools that dominate modern sociology.
