- Summary:
-
What is sociology really about? Allan Johnson's answer goes to the heart of sociology as a way of thinking and explains why it's important that we understand it, use it, live it, and pass it on. Johnson takes us into every nook and cranny of social life, from the meaning of "I love you" to the ravages of social oppression.
