Descripción del artículo del vendedor

xvi, [2], 331, [3] pages. Illustrations. Notes. Index. Ron Westrum (born September 23, 1945) is an American sociologist. Born in Chicago in 1945, Westrum earned a B.A. (cum laude) in Social Relations in 1966 from Harvard University and a Ph.D. in Sociology in 1972 from the University of Chicago.
