What is Social Things : an Introduction to the Sociological Life about?

<p><P>The fourth edition of Social Things is as poignant and readable as ever with new material to help introduce sociology as a discipline and a way of life to a new generation of students and readers of all ages. As before, Lemert captivates his readers by helping them understand that, as he puts it, _sociology is, first of all, a thing lived_ which makes us all practical sociologists.</p> <h3>Booknews</h3> <p>The first edition appeared in 1977. The book is primarily for use in introductory sociology classes. Part story and history, it shows how we would not encounter individuals who trust or threaten us were it not for social forces beyond our reach.... What this means is that Lemert (sociology, Wesleyan) is interested in how individuals' lives are shaped not only by intention and local conditions, but also by global forces, especially political and economic events and trends.
