Comprised of carefully selected readings, Explaining Social Psychology to a Sociologist introduces students to the field of social psychology from a sociological perspective. The anthology demonstrates how psychology and sociology are bridged by social psychology. Students learn how the study of social behaviors, and more specifically, the patterns of those social behaviors in groups, can help us better understand the inherent relationship between individuals and society.The anthology is divided into five units. Unit I introduces readers to social psychology through readings that explore the sociological mindset, how humans develop a sense of individuality, and research methods commonly used in the field. In Unit II, students learn about nature and nurture, socialization through interaction, and the formation of identity. Unit III focuses on the concept of morality and contains readings on altruism, aggression, and decision-making. In Unit IV, students read about control theory, crime, attraction, and social attitudes in the physical world. The final unit delves into group dynamics and explores crowd behavior and conformity. Engaging and effective, Explaining Social Psychology to a Sociologist is well suited for foundational courses in social psychology.

Human Rights of American Minorities provides students with a holistic view of universal human rights as they apply to American social problems and the lives of minority populations in the United States. The anthology encourages readers to think critically about the identity, behavior, and reactions to modern events by minority and majority social groups.Within the collection, students read the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as written by the United Nations and selections that explore the role of identity in diversity, economic inequality, the impact of micro-aggressions on Latino/a communities, and the structural racism Native Americans and Alaskan natives endure. Additional readings address the roles sex, gender, sexuality, and age play in determining minority or majority status. The collection concludes with readings that examine stunted opportunity in America, the fundamentals of social policy, and whether claims of religious discrimination can be successful.Moving beyond stratification theory to spotlight the everyday struggles of minorities in the United States, Human Rights of American Minorities is an excellent resource for courses in the social sciences, especially those that explore inequality and minority populations.
