Description

Whether a student, an instructor, a researcher, or just someone interested in understanding the roots of sociology and our social world, The Cambridge Handbook of Sociology, Volume 2 is for you.

This second volume of the Handbook covers specialties within sociology and interdisciplinary studies that relate to sociology.

It includes perspectives on race, class, feminist theories, special topics (e.g. the sociology of nonhuman animals, quality of life/social indicators research, the sociology of risk, the sociology of disaster, the sociology of mental health, sociobiology, the sociology of science and technology, the sociology of violence, environmental justice, and the sociology of food), the sociology of the self, the sociology of the life course, culture and behavior, sociology's impact on society, and related fields (e.g. criminology, criminal justice studies, social work, social psychology, sociology of translation and translation studies, and women and gender studies).

Each essay includes a discussion of how the respective subfield contributes to the overall discipline and to society.

Written by some of the most respected scholars, teachers, and public sociologists in the world, the essays are highly readable and authoritative.
