“My analyses of the social causes of death illustrate the fundamental aim of sociology at its best: to help people enjoy longer and happier lives.” — Robert J. Brym
In five beautifully written essays, Brym analyzes the social causes of death. In doing so he reveals the powerful social forces that help to determine who lives and who dies, and demonstrates the promise of a well-informed sociological understanding of our world.
Examining American hip-hop culture, the motivations of Palestinian suicide bombers, and the plight of victims of hurricanes in the Caribbean region and the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, this collection of linked essays by an internationally renowned sociologist takes readers into worlds that figure prominently in today’s popular culture and headline news stories. The book will be an eye-opener, an inspiration, and a guide for students of sociology and for anyone with an inquiring mind and hopes for a better world for future generations.
