A masterful introduction to and appreciation of sociology as a
window into our world The culmination of a distinguished career,
this fascinating exploration into the nature of human social life
describes the field of sociology as a way of looking at the world
rather than as a simple gathering of facts about it. Kai Erikson
notes that sociologists look out at the same human scenes as poets,
historians, economists, or any other observers of the vast social
landscape spread out before them, but select different aspects of
that vast panorama to focus on and attend to. Erikson's lively and
accessible volume considers how sociology became a field of study,
and how it has turned its attention over time to new areas of study
such as race and gender and what Erikson calls "social speciation."
This book provides readers with new ways of thinking about human
culture and social life-an exhilarating sense of what the world
looks like when viewed with a sociologist's eye.
