In this edited open access book leading scholars from different disciplinary backgrounds wrestle with social science integration opportunities and challenges. This book explores the growing concern of how best to achieve effective integration of the social science disciplines as a means for furthering natural resource social science and environmental problem solving. The chapters provide an overview of the history, vision, advances, examples and methods that could lead to integration. The quest for integration among the social sciences is not new. Some argue that the social sciences have lagged in their advancements and contributions to society due to their inability to address integration related issues. Integration merits debate for a number of reasons. First, natural resource issues are complex and are affected by multiple proximate driving social factors. Single disciplinary studies focused at one level are unlikely to provide explanations that represent this complexity and are limited in their ability to inform policy recommendations. Complex problems are best explored across disciplines that examine social-ecological phenomenon from different scales. Second, multi-disciplinary initiatives such as those with physical and biological scientists are necessary to understand the scope of the social sciences. Too frequently there is a belief that one social scientist on a multi-disciplinary team provides adequate social science representation. Third, more complete models of human behavior will be achieved through a synthesis of diverse social science perspectives.

"Introduction to Sociology 2e adheres to the scope and sequence of a typical, one-semester introductory sociology course. It offers comprehensive coverage of core concepts, foundational scholars, and emerging theories, which are supported by a wealth of engaging learning materials. The textbook presents detailed section reviews with rich questions, discussions that help students apply their knowledge, and features that draw learners into the discipline in meaningful ways. The second edition retains the book's conceptual organization, aligning to most courses, and has been significantly updated to reflect the latest research and provide examples most relevant to today's students. In order to help instructors transition to the revised version, the 2e changes are described within the preface."--Website of text.

Is the human society fair and fulfilling, as you learn in school, or it is harmful, with corrupt politicians, financial cartels, and major conspiracies spanning the world as you always notice? Both are the case, yet the human society improves gradually, despite of all corruption in the news, only that the media tends to highlight politicians in order to capture the masses, or you never watch the news. Because it is always a show, even in the news, while everybody is happy. But is society actually corrupt and harmful? The human society has always been exploitive, yet people tend to interact in any manner in the world, more or less humane, while it is meaningful to distinguish your own influence, exactly as it is. Would you like to learn the truth about the human society? Then study yourself and those around very well, since society is the direct interconnectivity of all human beings, with you in it. Therefore, you are the one defining society directly, at least in everything regarding you, and this is the case with everyone else. While everybody is relatively good intentioned in society, since we are very similar through our human nature and through all natural, living needs and meanings that we fulfill. Because humanity is never divided into the good and the bad, since everybody is good by having similar natural needs and meanings, only that people can become more exploitive while fulfilling consensual needs, as these make them be whatever their superiors, jurisdictions, and ideologies desire, stepping in this manner outside the actual human nature. And this is bad, since this is exactly how humans become unhuman, with all dreadful consequences manifesting in the world. Because humans fulfill mostly consensual needs, as orders and duties coming from above, but not their own, human needs, as everyone should. While this ends up defining the human society the most, changing it altogether into a social machine meant for profit and exploitation, and it should never be the case in a human world. Because there are two human societies to consider, the natural, intelligent human society that everyone seeks to have and maintain through their own living, natural needs and feelings, and the consensual society actually instated in the world, regardless if you want it or not. Throughout this book, we study how life and living human beings gather naturally to form classes of life and living societies meant to make life better, safer, meaningful, and therefore fulfilling. We also understand the current human society in its consensual structure and characteristics, in all aspects and from all perspectives. Furthermore, we identify and understand the various modes of society that life and the environment may demand, as we recognize what is meaningful among orders, agendas, and conspiracies already implemented or threatening to take place in the world, who the main social actors are, and how determined they remain in everything that they do in the human society. This helps you understand your own meaning in life, in society, and in the world, while understanding how your meaning is enhanced or altered by your own behavior and interconnectivity in life and in the world. If you seek to uncover and understand the human society exactly as it is and as it should be, this book is for you.

A watershed event in the field of sociology, this text introduced “a major breakthrough in the sociology of knowledge and sociological theory generally” (George Simpson, American Sociological Review). In this seminal book, Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann examine how knowledge forms and how it is preserved and altered within a society. Unlike earlier theorists and philosophers, Berger and Luckmann go beyond intellectual history and focus on commonsense, everyday knowledge—the proverbs, morals, values, and beliefs shared among ordinary people. When first published in 1966, this systematic, theoretical treatise introduced the term social construction,effectively creating a new thought and transforming Western philosophy.

We tend to see history and evolution springing from separate roots, one grounded in the human world and the other in the natural world. Human beings have, however, become probably the most powerful species shaping evolution today, and human-caused evolution in other species has probably been the most important force shaping human history. This book introduces readers to evolutionary history, a new field that unites history and biology to create a fuller understanding of the past than either can produce on its own. Evolutionary history can stimulate surprising new hypotheses for any field of history and evolutionary biology. How many art historians would have guessed that sculpture encouraged the evolution of tuskless elephants? How many biologists would have predicted that human poverty would accelerate animal evolution? How many military historians would have suspected that plant evolution would convert a counter-insurgency strategy into a rebel subsidy? With examples from around the globe, this book will help readers see the broadest patterns of history and the details of their own life in a new light.

Grounded in the sister disciplines of sociology and anthropology, this textbook is an accessible and critical introduction to contemporary social research. Alex Khasnabish eschews the common disciplinary silos in favour of an integrated approach to understanding and practising critical social research. Situated in the North American context, the text draws on cross-cultural examples to give readers a clear sense of the diversity in human social relations. It is organized thematically in a way that introduces readers to the core areas of social research and social organization and takes an unapologetically radical approach in identifying the relations of oppression and exploitation that give rise to what most corporate textbooks euphemistically identify as “social problems.” Focusing on key dynamics and processes at the heart of so many contemporary issues and public conversations, this text highlights the ways in which critical social research can contribute to exploring, understanding and forging alternatives to an increasingly bankrupt, violent, unstable and unjust status quo.
