Sociology continues to be a growing, dynamic field of inquiry which is gaining ground in the academy at large, especially in non-Western settings. Despite the ever-changing nature of the focus of the discipline, several core concepts have remained at the heart of sociology since its academic founding. This volume will focus on these essential concepts and thus provide a universal appeal to students, scholars, and lay people alike. The editor of this volume has managed 9 different major reference works for Wiley-Blackwell and been the co-editor on 5 of those works. This volume will build on the experience, connections, and expertise of the editor to provide a new, more concise, more affordable volume to provide access to many of the essential ideas in the field of sociology. One major appeal of this volume will be that it will include many of the major names in the discipline as authors and thus bring together many of the leading figures in the field of sociology and their expertise on core concepts. Another appeal will be its more affordable price making it more easily accessible to students and the lay public.
