Book Summary of A NEW DICTIONARY OF SOCIOLOGY
DESCRIPTION
A new dictionary of the social sciences, with many entries revised and new ones added, follows the successful career of its predecessor A Dictionary of Sociology first published in 1968. That Book proved to be a valueable part of the student`s equipment,it is confidently hoped that its successor will likewise be as useful.
Some terms are explained quite briefly, others at some length. In sociology it is not possible to be very helpful without discussing various usages and the theoretical and other interests which underlie such variations. Thus fairly long entries are given on words such as authority, consensus, function,role, social stratification and the like, whereas quite short entries suffice for others like agnate, eidos or mores. In the choice of words a generous definition of sociology has ben employed and some words used by students of cultural and social anthropology, social psychology and political science as well as by sociologists are included.
