Preface

The idea for this Encyclopedia of Sociology was in gestation for a long time. Probably the notion arose when, as Sociology Advisory Editor for Rand McNally and Company, I arranged for a series of handbooks that were published in the 1960s and 1970s. This influential group of volumes covered most of sociology, especially with the Handbook of Modern Sociology (Robert E. L. Faris, 1964) as a key volume. Other titles in the list included: Handbook of Marriage and the Family (Harold T. Christensen, 1964); Handbook of Organizations (James G. March, 1965); Handbook of Socialization Theory and Research (David A. Goslin, 1968); Handbook of Personality Theory and Research (Edgar F. Borgatta & William W. Lambert, 1968); Handbook on the Study of Social Problems (Erwin O. Smigel, 1971); and Handbook of Criminology (Daniel Glaser, 1974). Effectively, the series functioned as an encyclopedia, especially since there was additional related coverage already provided by the Handbook of Social Psychology (Gardner Lindzey and Elliot Aronson, 1968). At that time Macmillan’s International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences (David L. Sills, ed., 1968) was also available, and a separate encyclopedia for sociology seemed superfluous. 

With time, however, as social-science research and professional involvement grew, along with the proliferation of sub fields, each of the social and behavioral sciences and, indeed, other specialties, such as statistics, area studies, and applied areas, developed useful encyclopedias. In the late 1970s I talked about an encyclopedia of sociology with F.E. (Ted) Peacock (F. E. Peacock Publishers, Inc.), who encouraged the development of the project. However, since it takes time for these things, it was not until the early 1980s that I actually started reflecting actively on what would need to be done, and I sought advice on what actually would be involved in such a project. Fortunately, Raymond J. Corsini, a good friend with whom I had worked on other matters, invited me to be an Associate Editor for the Encyclopedia of Psychology (Corsini, 1984). I got a close look at what was involved in undertaking a project of this magnitude and I was persuaded that the task would be a feasible one for sociology.
