"Here is a book that every academic library and every department
of sociology should own. The author's short opening essay is clear
and valuable [and he] has chosen his vocabulary items well. Every
word I looked up was there. His essay definitions are good, and
closely representative of the discipline, [and] he precisely grasps
the distinctive elements of each concept." Contemporary
Sociology
" It is a portable dictionary that will help undergraduates and
others interested in understanding the central concepts of
sociology by offering them a representative sampling of some
specialized areas within the field and some important concepts from
related disciplines-such as Authority, Feminism and Teleoogical
Explanation. This is unique in one respect. The others are
edited collections of entries composed by many writers, but Johnson
wrote this entire work in an effort to present the whole conceptual
framework with one continuos voice." Booklist, Chicago,
Illinois
"Inexpensive, with an attractive format, this dictionary would
be helpful for sociology students and would make a good, if not
essential, addition to library collections." P. Flaherty,
Eastern Kentucky University
"Intended to serve as a guidebook, this dictionary is so well
written that it could also be read cover to cover. All public
libraries should have a copy of this work in their reference
sections." Libraries Unlimited, American Reference
