"In my opinion, this book is a must for social science and sociology students more especially, undergraduate students." - Jim Mitchell, Daley College
This reader enables students to understand the historical flow of social theory and see how disagreements and confrontations shape theory. As in the first edition, many of the classical articles are paired with contemporary theoretical and empirical studies that illustrate the continuing value of the classical concepts. Garner continues to offer her concise introductions, all of which have been completely revised and updated for this edition.

Highly recommended for undergraduate courses in social theory. -- Philip Walsh, York University The book is intellectually written yet easily read, provocative yet persuasive. Such a simple approach and interpretation of social theory has long been needed. In my opinion, this book is a must for social science and sociology students-more especially, undergraduate students. -- Jim Mitchell, Daley College
