First published in 1956, The Power Elite stands as a contemporary classic of social science and social criticism. C. Wright Mills examines and critiques the organization of power in the United States, calling attention to three firmly interlocked prongs of power: the military, corporate, and political elite. The Power Elite can be read as a good account of what was taking place in America at the time it was written, but its underlying question of whether America is as democratic in practice as it is in theory continues to matter very much today. What The Power Elite informed readers of in 1956 was how much the organization of power in America had changed during their lifetimes, and Alan Wolfe's astute afterword to this new edition brings us up to date, illustrating how much more has changed since then. Wolfe sorts out what is helpful in Mills book and which of his predictions have not come to bear, laying out the radical changes in American capitalism, from intense global competition and the collapse of communism to rapid technological transformations and ever changing consumer tastes. The Power Elite has stimulated generations of readers to think about the kind of society they have and the kind of society they might want, and deserves to be read by every new generation.

The definitive, bestselling book on the origins and development of nationalism.
Imagined Communities, Benedict Anderson's brilliant book on nationalism, forged a new field of study when it first appeared in 1983. Since then it has sold over a quarter of a million copies and is widely considered the most important book on the subject. In this greatly anticipated revised edition, Anderson updates and elaborates on the core question: what makes people live, die and kill in the name of nations? He shows how an originary nationalism born in the Americas was adopted by popular movements in Europe, by imperialist powers, and by the anti-imperialist resistances in Asia and Africa, and explores the way communities were created by the growth of the nation-state, the interaction between capitalism and printing, and the birth of vernacular languages-of-state. Anderson revisits these fundamental ideas, showing how their relevance has been tested by the events of the past two decades.

《农民的道义经济学》是美国著名学者、耶鲁大学教授詹姆斯•C.斯科特于1976年出版的有关农民问题的著作，它集中体现了斯科特理论阐释与个案分析相结合的实证主义研究特色。
作者在书中指出，在“安全第一”的生存伦理下，农民追求的不是收入的最大化，而是较低的风险分配与较高的生存保障。随后，作者从东南亚的缅甸和越南农业社会的历史发展轨迹，特别是农民的反叛和起义入手，探究了市场资本主义的兴起对传统农业社会的巨大冲击。作者据此认为，贫困本身并不是农民反叛的原因，农业商品化和官僚国家的发展所催生的租佃和税收制度，侵犯了农民生存的伦理道德和社会公正感，迫使农民铤而走险，奋起反抗。
《农民的道义经济学》是一部真正从农民的角度出发，更为现实地考察农民生存和反叛问题的力作，它对研究亚洲乃至世界其它国家的农民问题，都有着极为现实的借鉴意义。

This volume brings together Bourdieu's highly original writings on language and on the relations among language, power, and politics. Bourdieu develops a forceful critique of traditional approaches to language, including the linguistic theories of Saussure and Chomsky and the theory of speech-acts elaborated by Austin and others. He argues that language should he viewed not only as a means of communication but also as a medium of power through which individuals pursue their own interests and display their practical competence. Drawing on the concepts that are part of his distinctive theoretical approach. Bourdieu maintains that linguistic utterances or expressions can be understood as the product of the relation between a linguistic market" and it "linguistic habitus." When individuals use language in particular ways, they deploy their accumulated linguistic resources and implicitly adapt their words to the demands of the social held or market that is their audience. Hence every linguistic interaction, however personal or insignificant it may seem, hears the traces of the social structure that it both expresses and helps to reproduce. Bourdieu's account sheds fresh light on the ways in which linguistic usage varies according to considerations such as class and gender. It also opens up a new approach to the ways in which language is used in the domain of politics. For politics is, among other things, the arena in which words are deeds and the symbolic character of power is at stake. This volume, by one of the leading social thinkers in the world today, represents a major contribution to the study of language and power. It will be of interest to students throughout the social sciences and humanities, especially in sociology, politics, anthropology, linguistics, and literature.

From the time of its first publication, Tearoom Trade engendered controversy. It was also accorded an unusual amount of praise for a first book on a marginal, intentionally self-effacing population by a previously unknown sociologist. The book was quickly recognized as an important, imaginative, and useful contribution to our understanding of "deviant" sexual activity. Describing impersonal, anonymous sexual encounters in public restrooms—"tearooms" in the argot—the book explored the behavior of men whose closet homosexuality was kept from their families and neighbors.
By posing as an initiate, the author was able to engage in systematic observation of homosexual acts in public settings, and later to develop a more complete picture of those involved by interviewing them in their homes, again without revealing their unwitting participation in his study.
This enlarged edition of Tearoom Trade includes the original text, together with a retrospect, written by Nicholas von Hoffman, Irving Louis Horowitz, Lee Rainwater, Donald P. Warwick, and Myron Glazer. The material added includes a perspective on the social scientist at work and the ethical problems to which that work may give rise, along with debate by the book's initial critics and proponents. Humphreys added a postscript and his views on the opinion expressed in the retrospect.

《社会分工论》是法国社会学家涂尔干1893年的博士论文，是其开山之作。一开始他就显示了他反对单一的功利主义思维的立场，他指出社会是多元的，是由种种矛盾的部分组成的，是要适应相互矛盾的种种需要的，必须有一种限定与平衡。他选取的题目是一个经济学的对象，但他却要从其中找出非经济的内核来。这《社会分工论》的中心思想就是，劳动分工并不是纯粹经济现象。在这部著作中，涂尔干既提出了“社会团结”、“集体意识”、“功能”、“社会容量”、“道德密度”以及“社会分化与社会整合”这些后来一直为社会学界所沿用、修正和争论的概念‘也通过对“机械团结”与“有机团结”、“环节社会”与“分化社会”以及“压制性制裁”与“恢复性制裁”的纵向二元划分，探讨了历史演进的基本规律。概言之，涂尔干的社会学主义之基本立场在《社会分工论》已初现端倪：一切存在与现象的根源，皆为“社会”。

爱弥尔·涂尔干是与马克思和韦伯齐名的社会学三大奠基人之一，为19世纪末20世纪初人文和社会科学领域不可多得的集大成者之一。本书援用了大量人类学材料，从图腾制度出发讨论了宗教生活之构成的基本原理及命题，堪称涂尔干所有作品中最精湛的作品，也是最能代表其社会思想取向的文献。此外，本书还反映了涂尔干晚年思想的主要转向，即用社会决定论来构建道德个体主义的理论企图，其中的若干章节被认为知识社会学研究的范本。
