About
The Forest and the Trees: Sociology as Life, Practice, and Promise is a book by Allan G. Johnson (1946-2017).
The publisher's web site describes it thusly:
If sociology could teach everyone just one thing, what would it be? The Forest and the Trees is one sociologist's response to the hypothetical – the core insight with the greatest potential to change how people see the world and themselves in relation to it.
