The completion of this book involved the support and labor of many people. I would like to begin by acknowledging my former sociology editor, Serina Beauparlant of Mayfield Publishing Company, who challenged me, over 25 years ago, to take on this project. Much of Serina’s vision is contained within the structure of this book. Over the years we spent many hours on the telephone debating the strengths and weaknesses of various readings. Serina, if I am a clutch hitter, then you are the phenomenal batting coach. I could not have asked for a more thoughtful and attentive sociology editor. Thank you for initiating this project with me.

Over the past 25 years, more than 100 sociologists have reviewed drafts of the manuscript and provided me with valuable observations concerning the readings and teaching introductory sociology. First and foremost, I want to acknowledge the early insights of Agnes Riedmann, who suggested several key pieces in the first draft. I also appreciate the suggestions for selections made by Joan Ferrante, Annette Lareau, and Michael Messner.
