Social Theory and Social Practice is a unique effort at applied social theory. Hans L. Zetterberg believes that social research has now advanced so far that social scientists can give advice without being restricted to new research projects. They can use previously proven theories as the basis for sound practical recommendations. This approach has profound implications in the application of social science to problems in business management, labor strife, government decision-making, in such areas as education, health and human welfare. It remains a pioneering discourse for practitioners of social research and social policy.Zetterberg gives a searching review of the various ways in which social practitioners attempt to use the accumulated knowledge of social science. He proceeds with a compact summary of the knowledge of the academicians of social science, noting that practitioners are often unaware of much useful academic knowledge. The process by which this knowledge is transformed into practical advice is spelled out in detail, and is illustrated with examples from an actual consultation about problems faced by an art museum that wanted to increase its audience.Chapter 1 identifies the problem; chapter 2, "The Knowledge of Social Practitioners," outlines practitioners' reliance on scientific knowledge; chapter 3, "The Knowledge of Social Theorists," discusses sociological terms and sociological law; chapter 4, "The Practical Use of Social Theory through Scholarly Consultants," explores the actual specificity of social theory and its uses, while the concluding chapter examines the uses of consultants, covering some prerequisites for the successful use of applied science. The book rejects the widespread view that in order to put social science to use, we have to popularize its content. Zetterberg's approach is rather to translate a client's problem into a powerful theoretical statement, the solution to which is calculated and then presented to the client as down-to-earth advice.This volume will be of immediate interest to scholars in the field of social theory; to consultants and practitioners who give advice on social problems and policy decisions; and to executives who use advice from social scientists.

Helt vanliga människor som har levt i Åker, i mer eller mindre hela sina liv. Det är Ellen-Småland, Kungen, Masken, Pliggen och tio till som berättar om sina liv i Åkers styckebruk. Inalles 14 personer som öppnar sina hjärtan och berättar om både roliga men ibland också sorgliga händelser i sina liv. Och så jag själv förstås, så det blir alltså 14+1=15 berättelser i den här boken. Många roliga episoder har berättats. Jag hade ingen aning om att Sune Lund i sin ungdom var swingpjatt och dansade, i sin överdimensionerade kavaj och smala byxben, inför Topsy Lindblom på Nalen i Stockholm! Sune blev, med sin okända partner, bland de tio bästa i den tävlingen! Tack alla ni som med glädje ställt upp och tagit emot mej med öppna hjärtan! Hans Zetterberg

Alla jag träffat är rörande överens om att uppväxten i Krutbruket har varit den bästa tänkbara. Trygg, säker och rolig. – Tänk att varje dag vakna upp till en ny fantastisk upplevelse, säger en av dem. Så var det! Var det kanske så att uppväxten i denna bruksmiljö format oss krutbruksbarn till något alldeles speciellt. Det vill jag gärna tro. Lite fakta och historia finns också med i boken. Om olika sorters krut, explosioner, djurförsök, rivningen av Hagalund, styresmannen von Otter och inte minst när Gustav Vasa en höstdag 1552 bestämde att här, i Åker, skulle det byggas en pulverfabrik! Tack alla Ni som ställt upp och ett särskilt tack till Lisa Dufva, Peter Servin
och Erik Eriksson som alla varit så tillmötesgående och hjälpt mej. Harry Lindblads dotter, Gerd Silander, tackar jag speciellt, som gett oss tillåtelse att använda Harrys bilder, samt Börje Bäärnman som gett tillåtelse att citera stycken ur Härje Bäärnmans bok ”Barndomsminnen”. Jag vet att det finns många fler som har så mycket att berätta om Krutbruket, men det får bli en annan gång… Hans Zetterberg

Now available in English for the first time, Sexual Life in Sweden is a classic piece of sex research by one of Sweden's most distinguished social scientists. Sponsored by the Royal Commission on Sex Education more than thirty years ago, it remains the only study of sexual behavior in a randomly selected adult population sample ever funded by a government.Because an astonishing response rate was achieved (91 percent) during the course of Zetterberg's research, the claim that Sweden is one of the few countries where generalizations about national sexual behavior can be made may be stated with confidence. Zetterberg's study matches the gender of interviewers to that of subjects. From a theoretical perspective, Zetterberg analyzes the change in Sweden from a "restrictive" to a "contraceptive" society. The study makes it clear that, with over 1,000 acts of intercourse for every live birth, 90 percent of sexual activity between consenting adults in modern Sweden does not result simply for procreation. Nevertheless, the research yields a picture of a highly responsible society. Zetterberg explores the emergence of two powerful new norms: "when having sex, you must use contraception," and "when in an existing sexual relationship, you must not start another one." He also examines the issue of abortion as part of a concept of social justice. The author compares the behavior of those who experience an unwanted pregnancy with those who do not, and explains that abortion is seen by Swedes as part of the provision of the welfare and social justice system. Included is an examination of the sexual behavior of young people-the age of their first sexual experience, the circumstances surrounding it, whether positive parental involvement in their children's lives has any influence on their sexual conduct, and sex education programs in the schools.This translation of Zetterberg's study has been prepared by British sociologist Graham Fennell, who also authored a new introduction positioning Zetterberg's work in the history of sex research and comparing its findings with contemporary studies in Scandinavia, Western Europe, and North America. In light of the ongoing controversies about sex education, its conclusions remain relevant to policy discussions today.
