James A. Inciardi was a major proponent of the United States' War on Drugs. In numerous books and essays, Inciardi argued for causal links between marijuana and HIV/AIDS, marijuana and violent murder, marijuana and homosexuality (and reverse), marijuana (but not tobacco) and lung cancer, homosexuality and pedophilia, not being white and criminality, and being female and suffering from cognitive impairment. Despite being wrong almost without exception, he was appointed co-director of the Center for Drug and Alcohol Studies at the University of Delaware and professor of sociology and criminal justice.

When the noted French poet and chronicler Jean Froissart wrote at the close of the 14th century that "a third of the world has died." he was reflecting on the how the Black Death had ravaged the population of Europe, and how little medieval medicine had to offer in its fight against epidemic diseases.

"Sociology is truly a classic introductory text which introduces students to the methods and theories of sociology using Rodney Stark's hallmark 'Over the Shoulder of a professional sociologist' approach, presenting sociology on a personal level. Stark describes what sociologists do and how they do it, focusing first on the questions they pose and how they search for and formulate their answers, and then moving on to study their answers and conclusions. In this way, he effectively explores themes, raising issues in a straightforward manner with historical accuracy and solid research. The text employs a unique feature titled 'A Closer View,' which illustrates seminal research studies to introduce students to the sociological imagination and the world around them." -- Publisher's description.
