This bibliography of sociology is a list of works, organized by subdiscipline, on the subject of sociology. Some of the works are selected from general anthologies of sociology,[1][2][3][4][5] while other works are selected because they are notable enough to be mentioned in a general history of sociology or one of its subdisciplines.[i]

Sociology studies society using various methods of empirical investigation to understand human social activity, from the micro level of individual agency and interaction to the macro level of systems and social structure.[6][7][8]

    • Provides an overview of the field of environmental sociology and its various research emphases.[citation needed]
  • Schnaiberg, Allan, and Kenneth Alan Gould. 2000. Environment and Society: The Enduring Conflict. Caldwell.[44]

Sociology of knowledge refers to the study of the relationship between human thought and the social context within which it arises, as well as of the effects prevailing ideas have on societies.

Politics

Main article: Political sociology See also: Comparative sociology, Military sociology, and Policy sociology

Traditionally, political sociology has been concerned with the ways in which social trends, dynamics, and structures of domination affect formal political processes, as well as exploring how various social forces work together to change political policies.[67] Now, it is also concerned with the formation of identity through social interaction, the politics of knowledge, and other aspects of social relations.
