Handbook of Public Sociology Summary:By Vincent Jeffries
Book overview The
Handbook of Public Sociology presents a comprehensive look at every
facet of public sociology in theory and practice. It pays particular
attention to how public sociology can complement more traditional types
of sociological practice to advance both the analytical power of the
discipline and its ability to benefit society. The volume features
contributions from a stellar list of authors, including several past
presidents of the American Sociological Association such as Michael
Burawoy, a leading proponent of public sociology.
