James A. Coleman Reihenfolge der Bücher
James Samuel Coleman war ein amerikanischer Soziologe und Theoretiker, dessen Arbeit die Bildungssoziologie und die öffentliche Politik maßgeblich prägte. Er gilt als einer der ersten, der den Begriff des „sozialen Kapitals“ einführte, und seine theoretischen Arbeiten legten den Grundstein für spätere Forschungen in diesem Bereich. Seine Studien untersuchten die Dynamik der jugendlichen Gesellschaft und die entscheidende Rolle der Schulbildung, wobei wegweisende Berichte die Bildungstheorie und nationale Politiken in Bezug auf Gleichheit und Produktivität in den Vereinigten Staaten transformierten.

BOOK CIRCLE is a fast-moving, action-packed story about a real, notorious gang of teenagers. They cared little about who they stomped, what vandalism they did, or whose car they swiped in their attempts to get back at the "codger" and "bags" of the community.The inside details of the many jobs they pulled, how the kids behave toward each other, and what they really think of adults is plainly revealed.Although the story is about teenagers and written for teenagers it is a gutsy book and not for the squeamish or chicken-hearted. The story will "turn off" most adults but it is MUST reading for those parents who refuse to understand their teenagers as a lesson in what can happen if their kids finally "tune them out".AUTHOR A. Coleman is a retired college physics professor. However, he has spent a good deal of time as an unpaid street worker helping troubled youths, especially those who organized into street gangs. The CIRCLE is a fictionalised story of one of these gangs. Coleman is also a well-established author of science books for the layman.
