Offering a balanced mix of original classics, broad reviews, and integrative articles as well as recent cutting-edge articles this text is organized around four broad content areas: Social Knowledge, Social Feelings, Social Values, and Social Control. The first 39 readings span nearly 100 years, yet approximately half of them were first published within the last 10 years. The book contains an introductory section, "Frameworks," which provides an explanatory framework for the remainder of the book.
