Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Once again, Lemert has revised and updated Social Things, a best seller that is admired by teachers, students, and even their parents for its riveting brilliance. In this edition, he challenges readers to appreciate the surprising story of how globa Book News Annotation:Lemert (sociology, Wesleyan U.) describes his frustrations and
accommodations to a life in sociology, along with the moments in
which he and his discipline are one while examining the history of
trends within sociology from the middle of the nineteenth to the last
quarter of the twentieth, ending with the years in which he claims
sociology discovered its "complicated vocation." Along with his pithy
observations on why sociologists tended to think what and when, he is
particularly acute in describing why globalization came at a time
when it could only make poverty and deprivation, which were already
on the rise, worse for more people, and what sociologists can do
about the situation and still be human beings.
