A new edition of the undergraduate or first level graduate text overviewing the field of education sociology by presenting various theories and emphasizing practical application. Ballantine (Wright State U.) approaches his subject matter with an open systems approach, allowing a breadth of topics that include general perspectives on the sociology of education and theories of organization, as well as emerging topics not normally covered in this type of instructional material such as attention to higher education, informal education (i.e. the "hidden curriculum"), school environment, education standards globally, and educational movements and alternatives.
