New to this Edition New "Trending" boxes focus on influential books by sociologists that have become part of the public conversation about important issues. Replacing "Public Sociology" boxes, this feature demonstrates the diversity of sociology s practitioners, methods, and subject matter, featuring such authors as o Michelle Alexander ( The New Jim Crow ) o Elizabeth Armstrong and Laura Hamilton ( Paying for the Party ) o Matthew Desmond ( Evicted ) o Arlie Hochschild ( Strangers in Their Own Land ) o Eric Klinenberg ( Going Solo ) o C.J.
