James Mannon

James M. Mannon, Ph.D. published his first book in 1981 while serving as a Sociology professor at DePauw University in Indiana.

Mannon calls his work ethnographic. His work reflects a professional, measured sociology study of the subject cultures. His observations are balanced and give remarkable insight into their respective worlds.

In the example of Emergency Encounters, anyone interested in the culture of Emergency Medical Technicians should delve into this work. This would include somebody who was planning to manage an EMT or paramedic operation or someone who was contemplating getting an EMT certification and working in the field.
