Excerpt from Readings in Sociology: Sources and Comment

There has been a certain logic in our process of excerpting. Some readings are shorter than has been conventional in the larger books of readings. In the interest of presenting more readings and introducing more authors and works, many of the readings have been considerably shortened, with apparently little or no loss in their functionality to the beginning student. Moreover, interest for this level, we have found, can be kept somewhat higher by eliminating some of the abstract, professional level obiter dicta which frequently are included in source materials.

Finally, we have written introductions to each section and also to each reading, which are designed to accomplish various purposes - to orient the student to the purpose of the reading or to the historical period from which it came or to some special aspect of the author's point of view, accomplishments, or place in the emergence of the profession. Sometimes questions are asked which are intended to focus the student's attention.
