The Structure of Social Stratification in the United States examines the structure of stratification in the United States, focusing on the way one's class location influences his or her life opportunities. Beeghley takes a structural point of view that distinguishes between individual and structural-level explanations of stratification, and shows how three dimensions of stratification (class, gender, and race/ethnicity) are interconnected. The fourth edition includes important new data on the extent of wealth inequality in the U.S.

This textbook offers an essential introduction to survey research and quantitative methods. Building on the premise that statistical methods need to be learned in a practical fashion, the book guides students through the various steps of the survey research process and helps to apply those steps toward a real example. In detail, the textbook introduces students to the four pillars of survey research and quantitative analysis: (1) the importance of survey research, (2) preparing a survey, (3) conducting a survey and (4) analyzing a survey. Students are shown how to create their own questionnaire based on some theoretically derived hypotheses to achieve empirical findings for a solid dataset. Lastly, they use said data to test their hypotheses in a bivariate and multivariate realm. The book explains the theory, rationale and mathematical foundations of these tests. In addition, it provides clear instructions on how to conduct the tests in SPSS and Stata. Given the breadth of its coverage, the textbook is suitable for introductory statistics, survey research or quantitative methods classes in the social sciences.
