Synopsis
Excerpt from Source Book for Sociology
I am indebted to a large number of authors and publishers for permission to reprint most of the materials in this volume. The specific acknowledgements are made in appropriate footnotes in the various selections.
My colleagues in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at the University of Wisconsin were particularly generous in giving advice and help. Ralph Linton and Charlotte Gower not only made excellent suggestions about the anthropological selections, but also kindly permitted me to include some of their own unpublished materials. S. A. Stouffer helped me especially with the difficult task of choosing papers for the chapters on population. J. L. Gilin made some pertinent suggestions regarding the chapter on personal disorganization and social control, and E. A. Ross was kind enough to use certain of the selections in preliminary form in his beginning course in sociology in connection with An Introductory Sociology, the textbook accompanying this volume.
For aid in the preparation of the manuscript and in seeing the book through the press my greatest debt is due my assistant, Hazen Carpenter. James A. Jackson, Jr., also helped in the preparation of the manuscript, and J. Edward Hulett and Carolina M. Lyons assisted with the proofreading and in the preparation of the index.
