Bertha Johnston's book is a teaching handbook for young children. It covers a variety of exercises designed to keep youngsters occupied as they acquire new abilities. The following project is a page and a half of using scissors. The Checker-Board is an example of the book's contents (Bristol board or stiff and smooth cardboard, smooth double-coated paper, red and black, paste, scissors, ruler). Make a 15-inch square out of cardboard. For the border, draw a line parallel to each side an inch from the edge. Cut 32 134-inch squares from each sheet of colored paper. Glue eight of them in a row, alternating colors, with just the top border line touching. Make eight similar rows, one on top of the other, and give them a total of 64 squares.
Economic sociology is a rapidly expanding field, applying sociology's core insight--that individuals behave according to scripts that are tied to social roles--to economic behavior. It places homo economicus (that tried-and-true fictive actor who is completely rational, acts only out of self-interest, and has perfect information) in context. In this way, it places a construct into a framework that more closely approximates the world in which we live. But, as an academic field, economic sociology has lost focus. The New Economic Sociology remedies this. The book comprises twenty of the most representative and widely read articles in the field's history--its classics--and organizes them according to four themes at the heart of sociology: institutions, networks, power, and cognition. Dobbin's substantial and engagingly written introduction (including his rich comparison of Yanomamo chest-beaters and Wall Street bond-traders) sets a clear framework for what follows. Gathering force throughout is Dobbin's argument that economic practices emerge through distinctly social processes, in which social networks and power resources play roles in the social construction of certain behaviors as rational or optimal. Not only does Dobbin provide a consummate introduction to the field and its history to students approaching the subject for the first time, but he also establishes a schema for interpreting the field based on an understanding of what economic sociology aims to achieve.
