Books and Readings

The basic texts are:

• Earl Babbie The Basics of Social Research which most students should already own from Sociology 246. Used copies of any edition of this or The Practice of Social Research are fine.
• John Lofland and Lyn H. Lofland Analyzing Social Settings

  In addition:

• Each student should also obtain the field research book for her or his theme.
• All students should use the course materials on the worldwide web weekly.
• All students read their theme articles, available on reserve at the library.
  
• Optional: The Sociology Writing Group A Guide to Writing Sociology Papers
