Rose's Socialization and the Life Cycle will discover a freshness and immediacy conveyed by no other text or book of readings. In Professor Rose's own words (from the Preface), 'Socialization and the Life Cycle is about love, labor, and loss. It consists of a variety of articles by prominent sociologists and sociologically sensitive writers whose research reports and commentaries offer the reader a clsoe look at the process of socialization from cradle to grave - and, in a sense, beyond the grave, since the functions of bereavement for survivors are also considered".
