For this fourth edition, Professor John Scott has conducted a thorough review of all entries to ensure that they are concise, focused, and up to date.

This Dictionary is both an invaluable introduction to sociology for beginners, and an essential source of reference for more advanced students and teachers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preface: Every science must have its special vocabulary or terminology. Sciences deal with ideas, thoughts, and concepts, and these must be expressed in words. Even the facts which are the groundwork of science must be set forth largely in words. No science, therefore, can have any more precision and exactitude than the words or other symbols, such as mathematical or chemical formulae, in which it is embodied. Quite generally, this situation calls for a special dictionary or glossary for each particular science.

Book excerpt: This new dictionary includes additional concepts, terms, and names than in the previous version in my continuing effort to make this dictionary fully comprehensive and useful for sociology students. The use of this dictionary is designed to help students master the vocabulary used in the scientific discipline of sociology. I believe that an enhanced understanding of the vocabulary used by sociologists in their quest to discover social facts leads to a better understanding of the discipline by students.It is not easy to compile a dictionary of sociological terms, concepts, and processes because the discipline is a living discipline unlike some other scientific areas of study. For instance, geologists might discover more components of a rock than previously thought, but the rock is still a rock and has not changed. Sociology on the other hand, by being a living discipline is always evolving--terms, theories, and processes come and go as the discipline adapts to the changing social world. Because of this, this dictionary is ever-changing.
