The topics selected fall under 16 main themes, including aging, community, crime, economics, education, race, social movements, social theory, and substance abuse. Housing, health, poverty, and population are important topics, with individual articles in these areas that include urban decline, life expectancy, living wage, apartheid, and alcoholism. Each of the articles is signed and includes lists of cross-references and of further reading. The articles are accessible to the undergraduate student and general reader, giving a general definition, a discussion of the main issues it raises, and an in-depth discussion of its effects on individuals and societies. The work is notable too for including articles on topics and concepts that were formerly influential, thus providing a glimpse into the history and practice of a field which is both complex and relevant.
