About This Book
Published in 1963, this book offers a critique on the processes by which professional sociologists were being educated in the graduate schools of the United States at the time. It aims to promote higher and more uniform standards of basic scientific training for sociologists. It is not a balanced account of the development of sociology but an assessment of the performance of graduate schools and any discrepancies in training.

About This Book
This book, published in 1955, is a successor to Joanna C. Colcord's Your Community: Its Provision for Health, Education, Safety, and Welfare, published by the Russell Sage Foundation in 1939. It is designed as a broadly conceived working manual of community study aimed at not just social workers, like its predecessor, but a more varied group of citizens. It details procedures for conducting the survey, both in its organizational and methodological aspects.

The Social Case History
About This Book
This book defines and explains the social case history. Published in 1920 as a guide for social scientists, it argues that case history is defined by its intended purpose; namely, the immediate purpose of furthering effective treatment of individual clients, the ultimate purpose of general social betterment, or the incidental purpose of establishing the case worker herself in critical thinking.

About This Book
Prepared for the American Sociological Society in 1959, Sociology and the Military Establishment explores the relationship between the military and the possible contributions of sociologists, particularly after World War II. It argues for more effective utilization of sociological theory and research in the analysis of problems to the military and makes evident that research on military problems would provide extremely valuable opportunities for testing sociological theory and method.
