{"product_id":"9781452205069","title":"Sociology of Work: An Encyclopedia","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe simple act of going to work every day is an integral part of all societies across the globe. It is an ingrained social contract: we all work to survive. But it goes beyond physical survival. Psychologists have equated losing a job with the trauma of divorce or a family death, and enormous issues arise, from financial panic to sinking self-esteem. Through work, we build our self-identity, our lifestyle, and our aspirations. How did it come about that work dominates so many parts of our lives and our psyche? This multi-disciplinary encyclopedia covers curricular subjects that seek to address that question, ranging from business and management to anthropology, sociology, social history, psychology, politics, economics, and health.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Benefits:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eInternational and comparative coverage.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e335 signed entries, A-to-Z, fill 2 volumes in print and electronic formats.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCross-References and Suggestions for Further Readings guide readers to additional resources.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Chronology provides students with historical perspective of the sociology of work.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIn the electronic version, the comprehensive Index combines with the Cross-References and thematic Reader's Guide themes to provide robust search-and-browse capabilities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SAGE Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47061247099120,"sku":"9781452205069","price":315.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781452205069_p0.jpg?v=1763845246","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781452205069","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
