"Sociology: A Text with Adapted Readings" by Leonard Broom and Philip Selznick is an influential academic work first published in 1955. This is the second edition, published in 1958 by Row, Peterson and Company, with locations in Evanston, Illinois and White Plains, New York. The authors, both esteemed sociologists affiliated with the University of California, provide a comprehensive introduction to sociology, enriched with adapted readings that illustrate key concepts. This edition is distinct for its expanded content and updated readings, reflecting developments in the field up to 1958. The book is bound in hardcover, typical of academic texts of the period, and is noted for its durability. While the dust jacket shows some wear, the book itself remains a valuable resource for students and collectors of sociological literature. This edition, while not rare, is a significant piece for those interested in mid-20th-century sociological studies.
