The Penguin Dictionary of Sociology (Penguin Dictionary)

4 reviews
Professor Nicholas Abercrombie, Stephen Hill, ...

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2006

A Very Helpful Guide
For any student of sociology, this is a welcomed addition to textbooks. The dictionary is also a good addition to the library of someone who just enjoys reading sociology books. It has a bit of a British flair because of its authors, but is really a well-rounded and insightful reference book.

Best Served Cold
Joe Abercrombie

Last Argument of Kings (First Law: Book Three)

Pyr, 2008

Wonderful finish for a pragmatic "Sword n' Sorcery" trilogy
To keep this brief, this is a wonderful trilogy that ends in a delightfuly dirty, realistic, and often painful (for both the reader and the characters) series. There are twists and unexpected developments for all! This series does not play to the high epic standard that good things always come to the good, and bad does not alway come to the bad. The characters are complex enough to allow the ...

Abercrombie and Fitch 1903 Catalog Reprint
Ross Bolton

CreateSpace, 2008

A complete reproduction of the Abercrombie and Fitch 1903 Catalog with a new introduction by Ross Bolton. This 1903 catalog is special in many ways. It was one of the last before Abercrombie was bought out by Fitch, and is just before the company officially incorporated as Abercrombie and Fitch in 1904. See the clothes, camping gear, and much more before there were beefcakes. The A&F catalog of yesteryear is a great snapshot of early ...

Charlie Anderson
Charlie Anderson is a wonderful book that should be in every elementary school library and in the home of every child who has parents who don't live together. Charlie Anderson is a cat, who like the little girls in the story has two homes, two beds, and two families who love him.

Abercrombie provides further proof that the fantasy genre is heading in the right direction
This has been a great year for discovering awesome fantasy authors. Scott Lynch, who may be my new favorite author after Martin, recommended Abercrombie so I had to check him out. I didn't regret it. He writes with a style unlike anything I've read, filled with quick wit, great dialogue and clever, subtle humor. His world is instantly engrossing and packed with intriguing and incredibly ...

The best I've read in a looooong time
Mature, fantasy readers must read this. If you haven't read The First Law trilogy, go buy it. Now. Abercrombie has an amazing style, characters and plot development, and more importantly...the entire series doesn't have a single character or word more than it needs. Absolutely the best I've read, in any genre, for a long time.

Writing Out The Storm
This is an extremely sensitively and well written book about an increasingly common and yet delicate and difficult subject. While the medical specialists are doing their best to deal with the physical aspects of this unwelcome arrival into our own life or the life of a loved one, what do we do about the equally important aspect of the emotional, spiritual and psychic effects? Using her own ...

This is a good book! It will appeal to anyone that is a fan of fishing, or sailing or the San Francisco Bay area for that matter.In the early 1900's, young Jack pursues poachers in several short storys that are often funny and sometimes hair-raising! The characters are colorful and full of mischief. Without motors on their boats and the power of the sail only, it's easy to get caught up in the ...

George Nelson: The Design of Modern Design

Stanley Abercrombie

The MIT Press, 2000

A Comprehensive Study of the Work by George Nelson
Although the book is minimal on color illustrations and its strength relies mainly on its text, contrary of what I had expected, I was very pleased with it. It is a very comprehensive study of the work of Nelson, one of the pioneers of American industrial design, giving more importance to the concepts and the process of design, rather than to the produced objects, buildings and exhibitions ...
