In this text for students and interested general readers, Delaney (sociology, State U. of New York at Oswego) uses excerpts from the Seinfeld television show to introduce basic sociological concepts. Fifteen short chapters address such topics as cultural norms and etiquette; sex and gender issues; race and ethnicity; and aging and death. The volume lacks a subject index.
