The Forest and the Trees by Allan Johnson
If sociology could teach everyone just one thing, what would it be? This title explores sociology as a way of thinking and why it matters that we understand it, use it, live it, and pass it on. It features a discussion of how individuals can participate in social change by stepping off paths of least resistance.
"Johnson's prolegomenon to the study of sociology, written for beginning sociology students at all levels, presents a 'core view' of sociology: individuals always participate in something larger than themselves- social systems; social life flows from this relationship between smaller and larger, between the forest and the trees.. Johnson's discussion is masterful." -Choice
