`The publication of this volume will make a dramatic impact, for it shifts the boundaries of current understandings of the field of social theory. It presents a set of cogent, well- informed, well-organized discussions of many authors who are not conventionally seen as relevant to that field. On the other hand, it also reconsiders a number of the field's established figures and focuses on their contribution to a few thematic concerns, which the editors formulate compellingly in their introduction' - Gianfranco Poggi, European University Institute

It's a very useful reference book but more suitable for academic students then for our students at a university of applied sciences. Also, the content is more orientated towards the philosophical side of social theory and gives less information on the original research done by the theorists described in the book.

Mr Pepijn van Amersfoort

This book provides an excellent overview of some of the most important sociological thinkers and is written in an easily accessible way for undergraduate students.

Dr Michael Rees

Excellent, well informed and easy to use. I enjoy the high level of variety within this text.

Mr Lewis Simpson

very good and useful book in providing profiles for classical social theorists, some of which are relevant to the discussion on contemporary information society issues

Dr DIMITRIS BOUCAS

Great for those who want to know more about social theory, but want a quick introduction and a quick reference source. Good for interdisciplinary studies, or marketing and consumer behaviour students, who need critical social underpinnings from key theorists to their work.
