Cook (Stanford U.) and Hagan (Northwestern U.) have assembled 19 essays on diverse topics by specialists, almost all of whom work in American universities. Individual papers consider the following topics: sociological miniaturism, consequences of victimization for personal and social development, religious nationalism and collective representation, sport and society, social implications of the Internet, homophily, globalization, education and class in developing countries, urban poverty, and hate crime. Two concluding essays on historical sociology discuss US social policy and early traditions of African-American sociology. c. Book News Inc.
