With topics ranging from adolescence and schools to educational assessment, working parents, and race and gender inequality, this stimulating, well-developed compilation of essays covering the common ground between education and sociology is sure to satisfy both educators and researchers. Over 90 contributors offer a variety of perspectives, highlighting key topics like affirmative education, Catholic schools, the economics of education, globalization, home schooling, and teacher burnout. Editors Levinson (Bergen Community Coll.), Peter W. Cookson Jr. (Teachers Coll., Columbia Univ.), and Alan R. Sadovnik (Rutgers Univ.) have created a book that goes beyond simplistic definitions, effectively articulating historical perspective, current research, pedagogic discourse, and directions for further discussion and research. The alphabetical listing of topics will help beginners as well as ardent researchers concentrate on areas of interest, while the detailed index helps in locating subject overlaps and areas of comparison. A unique compilation that is international in scope; recommended for academic libraries, schools of education and sociology, and public libraries seeking to offer a broad overview of current topics in these disciplines.
