SOCIOLOGICAL LINKS
Before getting
into specific topics, below are sites for more general sociological
leads on the WEB. You may wish to use either Frank Elwell's
glossary or Robert Drislane & Gary Parkinson's Online Dictionary of the Social Sciences
for some of the discipline's terminology. And to maintain a
healthy dose of skepticism toward the numerous claims of "facts" and
"truth" that one invariably comes across on the Web visit Robert T.
Carroll's "The Skeptic's Dictionary: A
Guide for the New Millennium".

SOCIOLOGY'S GREATEST HITS
What are the most influential books in this
discipline of sociology? In 1997, members of the International
Sociological Association were asked to list the five books published during the
twentieth century that most influenced their work. Though only 455
individuals responded and their rank orderings could trigger hours of debate,
the one thousand titles listed here
probably include the most important works.
