This dictionary provides not only simple one-line definitions but also entries that discuss the issues involved in, and alternative approaches to, the central concepts, theories and writings of sociology. The entries range from bureaucracy to critical theory, from epistemology to gender and from suicide to working-class conservatism. There are also useful cross-references and a bibliography to enhance the clarity of this book.
