I've been reading a bit of books that I guess could be classified as "pop psychology" and "pop economics" lately. (In this concept I include books like Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow. Hence what I mean is by "pop" is not that it's shallow but rather that it has a wide lay audience.) Now I'd like to turn to sociology - arguably the most general and allencompassing of the social sciences. But when I google "pop sociology", all the books seem to have been written by economists or psychologists or non-academics such as Malcolm Gladwell. For instance, see here:

Are there no well-known pop-sociological books written by sociologists and, if so, what does this say about sociology as a discipline? You very seldom hear about sociological research in the media if you compare with economics and psychology, and surely there has to be an explanation of this?
