Guns, Germs, and Steel Book Description: Winner of the Pulitzer Prize. In this "artful, informative, and delightful" (William H. McNeill, New York Review of Books) book, Jared Diamond convincingly argues that geographical and environmental factors shaped the modern world. Societies that had had a head start in food production advanced beyond the hunter-gatherer stage, and then developed religion as well as nasty germs and potent weapons of war and adventured on sea and land to conquer and decimate preliterate cultures. A major advance in our understanding of human societies, Guns, Germs, and Steel chronicles the way that the modern world came to be and stunningly dismantles racially based theories of human history. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the Phi Beta Kappa Award in Science, the Rhone-Poulenc Prize, and the Commonwealth club of California's Gold Medal. Editorial Reviews:

LSE for You You are here - Welcome to LSE Department of Sociology Who's who Academic staff Some major publications Don Slater joined the LSE as a Reader in Sociology in January 2001. After taking his BA and Ph.D from Cambridge (Social and Political Sciences) and spending several years in publishing, photography and community arts, he taught in the Department of Sociology, Goldsmiths College, University of London, from 1987 till 2001. Don Slater's work focuses on the relations between culture and economy, and falls into three broad areas: the sociology of economic life (in particular, consumer culture and market society); the sociology of the Internet and new media; and visual sociology (particularly photography and advertising). This work has been informed by a commitment to empirical (particularly ethnographic) research, to historical research, to critical traditions within modern social theory, and to interdisciplinary study and collaboration. His work on sociology of economic life includes Consumer Culture and Modernity (Polity: 1997) and Market Society: Markets and Modern Social Thought , with Dr Fran Tonkiss (Polity: 2001); and a special issue of

Tell A Friend, Win $500 Ads by Google Posted on: Wednesday, 23 June 2004, 06:00 CDT E-mail this to a friend Printable version Discuss this story in the forum Change Font Size: A A A In a related manner, as I continue to deepen my understanding of the history of our field, it becomes increasingly clear that from the very beginning sociology was conceived as a technology as much as a science (Weinstein, 1981). The development of sociology and the related social sciences from the cradle of classic moral philosophy and political economy was clearly driven by an attempt to apply scientific knowledge to improve human relations. Indeed, the idea that sociological insight and method ought to guide social behavior in matters of democratic governance and in civil society generally is hardly novel. Comte and the other founders clearly had this purpose in view, as we will discuss presently. The sociologist/planner Sir Patrick Geddes made this case as succinctly as anyone has ever done in a speech delivered in 1904 to the Sociological Society in London. In it, Geddes argued that when put into practice the findings of sociology provide the most rational and most democratic foundation for the conduct of human affairs. As stated in the title of his speech, which I have appropriated for this essay, we should therefore consider "Civics as Applied Sociology."2 Moreover, it is no coincidence that the intellectual movements that propelled sociology from its philosophical roots to its status as a serious, albeit unusual, academic discipline in its own right occurred during the great age of democratic revolution in Europe and North America.

What Is Anthropology
cultural anthropologists are interested in such things as behaviors, beliefs, many things in common related fields, such as sociology and psychology.
http://www.siue.edu/ANTHROPOLOGY/intro.htm

Extractions: Anthropology is the study of humans. Sounds simple, doesnt it? In reality, anthropology is a very complex and dynamic field. The methods and theories of anthropology are continuously changed and refined as anthropologists gather and analyze new data and reanalyze old data.Anthropology is multidisciplinary, drawing from and contributing to fields ranging from evolutionary psychology to medicine to historical ecology. Anthropologists are employed in universities, government agencies, and private corporations. Others with degrees in anthropology apply their knowledge in careers ranging from fire fighters to lawyers. Whatever career one chooses, an understanding of humans and appreciation for other cultures are essential in a multiethnic society such as ours. We in the Department of Anthropology at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville believe that teaching these skills and other aspects of anthropology are fundamental to an undergraduate liberal arts program. What is more important than the study of humans? In the United States , four fields of anthropology are traditionally recognized.

http://uk.geocities.com/balihar_sanghera/conpractices.html

Extractions: Sociology of Consumption: Social practices - the uses of things In contrast to meanings of things, understanding consumer culture is a matter of social rather than textual analysis. It is a matter of understanding the ways in which meanings of things are part of the making of social relations and social order. Consumption is part of the cultural reproduction of social relations, a concrete process carried out through social practices in mundane life. The social order of consumption practices Mary Douglas provides a Durkheimian concern with moral order and social classification. Douglas argues that the flow of goods through consumption rituals maps out and solidifies complex networks of social relationship. As communicators, goods are primarily markers that indicate social relationships and classifications. Through the public meanings attached to goods and their public uses, consumption organises social order by making visible social divisions, categories, ranks and so on. In general, social meaning is shifting and unstable. To take an example, the box of chocolates and flowers on Womens Day. The meanings and rituals of consumption mark out the categories and classifications that constitute the social order. Crucially, this approach, unlike semiotics, connects goods intrinsically to social contexts and relations, to practices.

http://libarts.wsu.edu/soc/Sig_Courses.htm

Extractions: Professor Lisa McIntyre Sociology 101 provides an introduction to sociology, including various sociological topics as well as a sociological way of viewing the world. Topics covered include: what is sociology, what is culture, how does deviance operate in society, and many others. The goal of the course is to show students the interconnectedness of things in society. The course shows students how they are constrained and empowered by society and the role that we all play in influencing society. Professor McIntyre presents these topics with a refreshing element of humor. This course is important to sociology majors because it introduces students to the basic vocabulary and points of view largely used in sociology. For non- sociology majors, the course is important because it teaches them the interconnectedness of society and their role in that social process. Professor McIntyre teaches this course in lecture format and provides students with a "lecture guide" that gives an overview of the material and offers optional study opportunities to make the material more easily understood.

Better known to most people (especially after the recent TV programme) as the " Zimbardo Experiment " - which tried to discover, in the words of the site: " What happens when you put good people in an evil place? Does humanity win over evil, or does evil triumph?". The site is a neat mixture of informative text photographs and short video clips relating to the experiment (plus useful "discussion questions") which can be used as a teaching tool to stimulate discussion / exploration in a range of Specification areas.
