Killing Monsters: Why Children Need Fantasy, Super Heroes, and Make-believe Violence – Social Science Book PDF
Jones, Gerard
Basic 2002
The author of this lively and persuasive paean to the power of popular culture argues that even violent and trashy entertainment gives children something they need, something that can help both boys and girls develop in a healthy way. Gerard Jones explains why validating our children’s fantasies teaches them to trust their own emotions, helps them build stronger selves, leaves them less at the mercy of the pop-culture industry, and strengthens parent-child bonds. This reassuring book, as entertaining as it is provocative, offers all of us-parents, teachers, policymakers, media critics-new ways to understand the challenges and rewards of explosive material.

Sociology – Social Science Book PDF
Stark, Rodney
Thomson Higher Ed 2007
SOCIOLOGY is truly a classic introductory text which introduces students to the methods and theories of sociology using Rodney Stark’s hallmark “Over the Shoulder of a professional sociologist” approach, presenting sociology on a personal level. Stark describes what sociologists do and how they do it, focusing first on the questions they pose and how they search for and formulate their answers, and then moving on to study their answers and conclusions. In this way, he effectively explores themes, raising issues in a straightforward manner with historical accuracy and solid research. The text employs a unique feature titled “A Closer View,” which illustrates seminal research studies to introduce students to the sociological imagination and the world around them.

The Wisdom of Crowds: Why the Many are Smarter than the Few and How Collective Wisdom Shapes Business, Economies, Societies, and Nations – Social Science Book PDF
Surowiecki, James
Doubleday 2004
In this fascinating book, New Yorker business columnist James Surowiecki explores a deceptively simple idea: Large groups of people are smarter than an elite few, no matter how brilliant–better at solving problems, fostering innovation, coming to wise decisions, even predicting the future. With boundless erudition and in delightfully clear prose, Surowiecki ranges across fields as diverse as popular culture, psychology, ant biology, behavioral economics, artificial intelligence, military history, and politics to show how this simple idea offers important lessons for how we live our lives, select our leaders, run our companies, and think about our world.

The Anatomy of Prejudices – Social Science Book PDF
Young-Bruehl, Elisabeth
Harvard Univ. 1998
Surveying the study of prejudice since World War II, Young-Bruehl finds a history riddled with assumptions, generalizations, and cliches. The Anatomy of Prejudices proposes a fresh start, and suggests an approach that distinguishes between different types of prejudices, the people who hold them, the social and political settings that promote them, and the human needs they fulfill. Young-Bruehl draws on theoretical and clinical, historical, and empirical literatures to show us prejudices from a variety of angles: there are those that help protect a group’s identity (ethnocentrisms) and those that project a group identity (ideologies of desire); there are prejudices as socioeconomic phenomena, attitudes toward governments, products of historical periods, social mechanisms of defense, sexual fantasy structures, and puberty rites.

Theory of the Leisure Class; An Economic Study in the Evolution of Institutions – Social Science Books PDF
Veblen, Thorstein B.
Macmillan 1899
“Thorstein Veblen sets out ‘to discuss the place and value of the leisure class as an economic factor in modern life’. In so doing he produced a landmark study of affluent American society that exposes, with brilliant ruthlessness, the habits of production and waste that link invidious business tactics and barbaric social behaviour. Veblen’s analysis of the evolutionary process sees greed as the overriding motive in the modern economy; with an impartial gaze he examines the human cost paid when social institutions exploit the consumption of unessential goods for the sake of personal profit. Fashion, beauty, animals, sports, the home, the clergy, scholars – all are assessed for their true usefulness and found wanting. The targets of Veblen’s coruscating satire are as evident today as they were a century ago, and his book still has the power to shock and enlighten.” -Publisher. Social science book pdf.

A Nation of Peoples: A Sourcebook on America’s Multicultural Heritage – Free College Textbooks – Social Science Book PDF
Barkan, Elliott R.
Greenwood 1999
“The debate over America’s multiculturalism has been intense for nearly three decades, dividing opponents into those insisting on such recognition and those fearing that such a formal acknowledgment will undermine the civic bonds created by a heterogeneous nation. Facts have often been the victim in this dispute, and few works have successfully attempted to present the broad spectrum of America’s ethnic groups in a format that is readable, current, and authoritative. The chapters in this reference book demonstrate that America has been far more than a nation of immigrants; it has been a nation of peoples–of virtually all races, religions, and nationalities–inclusive of indigenous natives and peoples long present as well as myriad immigrant and refugee groups. To the extent possible, each chapter discusses the initial arrival of the group in America; the adaptation of the first generation of immigrants; the economic, political, and cultural integration of the group; and the status of the group in contemporary American society. Each chapter closes with a bibliographical essay, and the volume concludes with a review of the most important general works on America’s multicultural heritage.” -Publisher. Social science book pdf.

The final volume includes comprehensive lists of businesses, educational institutions, films, and organizations.” -Publisher. Social science book pdf.

The Cuban Americans – Social Science Book PDF
Gonzalez-Pando, Miguel
Greenwood 1998
“Today more than one million emigrés make up the Cuban diaspora, and many, though living in America, still consider themselves part of Cuba. This book captures the struggles and dreams of Cuban Americans. Using this resource, students, teachers, and interested readers can examine the engaging and often controversial details of Cuban immigration. Such details include patterns of immigration, adaptation to American life and work, cultural traditions, religious traditions, women’s roles, the family, adolescence, language, and education. Because the author is himself a Cuban American, he does not treat the emigres as mere subjects nor does he tell their story in statistical terms alone. As an insider, he delves deeply into the soul of the community to illustrate all the dimensions of the Cuban American experience.” -Publisher. Sociology books pdf. Social science book pdf.

The Chinese American Family Album – Social Science Book PDF
Hoobler, Dorothy and Thomas
Oxford 1994
“The Chinese American Family Album is a scrapbook of family letters and diary entries, official documents, newspaper articles, and excerpts from literature of the past and present–a personal remembrance of an extended family of Chinese immigrants and their descendants… We learn about the building of the transcontinental railroad and how Chinese immigrants were the backbone of the work force, tailing long hours under the worst conditions. We see Chinatowns spring up wherever the immigrants landed, and we see how the traditions and culture of China were both preserved and altered as the immigrants became Americanized… We follow families through the generations and see how they are living now and what they have brought to our country. We read about famous Chinese Americans who have risen to the top of their fields, such as athlete Michael Chang, author Amy Tan, musician Yo-Yo Ma, and Senator Hiram Fong… The Chinese American Family Album makes the past experiences of these immigrants–and those of their sons and daughters in all the generations since–as real and immediate as the stories told by a favorite grandmother. They bring us in, like an embrace, to the all-encompassing, ever-growing, multicultural family of Americans.” -Publisher. Social science book pdf.

Penguin 1990
“A history of Asian Americans, introducing the people, the cultures, and their hope, fears, contribution, and dreams. In an extraordinary blend of narrative history, personal recollection, and oral testimony, the author presents a sweeping history of Asian Americans. He writes of the Chinese who laid tracks for the transcontinental railroad, of plantation laborers in the canefields of Hawaii, of “picture brides” marrying strangers in the hope of becoming part of the American dream. He tells stories of Japanese Americans behind the barbed wire of U.S. internment camps during World War II, Hmong refugees tragically unable to adjust to Wisconsin’s alien climate and culture, and Asian American students stigmatized by the stereotype of the “model minority.”” -Publisher.

Asian American Dreams: The Emergence of an American People – Social Science Book PDF
Zia, Helen
Farrar, Straus, and Giroux 2001
“This groundbreaking book is about the transformation of Asian Americans from a few small, disconnected, and largely invisible ethnic groups into a self-identified racial group that is influencing every aspect of American society. It explores the junctures that shocked Asian Americans into motion and shaped a new consciousness, including the murder of Vincent Chin, a Chinese American, by two white autoworkers who believed he was Japanese; the apartheid-like working conditions of Filipinos in the Alaska canneries; the boycott of Korean American greengrocers in Brooklyn; the Los Angeles riots; and the casting of non-Asians in the Broadway musical Miss Saigon. The book also examines the rampant stereotypes of Asian Americans.” -Publisher. Social science book pdf.
