Críticas:

"Johnson's prolegomenon to the study of sociology, written for beginning sociology students at all levels, presents a 'core view' of sociology: individuals always participate in something larger than themselves- social systems; social life flows from this relationship between smaller and larger, between the forest and the trees... Johnson's discussion is masterful." -Choice

Reseña del editor:

If sociology could teach everyone just one thing, what would it be? The Forest and the Trees is one sociologist's response to the hypothetical-the core insight with the greatest potential to change how people see the world and themselves in relation to it. This revised and updated edition features: * A new chapter that brings together the various aspects of the sociological model described in previous chapters with a detailed application to the origins of racism in the United States *A discussion of how individuals can participate in social change by stepping off paths of least resistance *The addition of graphics to illustrate the sociological model of systems and individuals
