1985 Jeannie Oakes Publishes
"Keeping Track: How Schools Structure Inequality"
The book is nicknamed "Tracking" in the sociology circles.
My favorite all time sociology book. She is very much against tracking and you should read this all time classic. Here is a little about her story.
Jeannie Oakes
Presidential Professor, UCLA
Director, UCLA's IDEA & UC ACCORD
The University of California's Oakes is perhaps the country's leading expert on the effects of tracking. Dr. Oakes' research examines inequalities in U.S. schools, and follows the progress of equity-minded reform. She is the author of 17 scholarly books and monographs and more than 100 published research reports, chapters, and articles.
Oakes' awards include three major awards from the American Educational Research Association (Early Career Award; Outstanding Research Article; Outstanding Book), the National Association for Multicultural Education's Multicultural Research Award, and the Distinguished Achievement Award from the Educational Press Association of America. She is also the recipient of Southern Christian Leadership Conference's Ralph David Abernathy Award for Public Service and, most recently, the World Cultural Council's Jose Vasconcelos World Award in Education.

Anything by Dr. David Buss, his ideas on EP, evolutionary psychology changed me from a Freudian to an evolutionary psychologist. Good luck.

Check at you local community college and get something currant on which theories are being used to what degree. My favorite popular phychology is anything by M.Scott Peck. "A Different Drum", "The Road Less Travelled" et.al.
