Social Theory
Social Theory is a major new undertaking to provide comprehensive
coverage of major social thinkers together with seminal texts from
lesser writers. Essential for study in the areas of politics, economics,
history, psychology, anthropology, religion, and literature, the works
of many important thinkers in sociology have remained inaccessible
until now. For many writers, the project represents the first availability
of a major scholarly edition of their collected works. Extensive licensing
allows readers to see both the original works and translations, searchable
together in a single database for the first time. At completion, the
product will include more than 150,000 pages, with well over
half of
the materials in copyright.

North American Indian Thought
and Culture
North American Indian Thought and Culture contains
more than 100,000 pages of personal stories, many of which
are previously unpublished, rare, or hard to find. The
collection presents the entire spectrum of Indian and
Canadian First People experiences from their own point of
view. Firsthand accounts reveal how Indians lived, thought,
and fought to protect their interests; how the tribes
interacted with each other and the white invaders; and how
they reacted to the constantly changing and challenging
situations they faced. These rare and informative
biographies are supported with historical materials that
provide context for the personal stories. Also included is a
detailed timeline of Indian events, cross-referenced by
region and tribe, to further aid in contextual placement. |
