Beschreibungen
<p>This revised edition of this extremely popular introduction to social theory has been carefully and thoroughly updated with the latest developments in this continually changing field. Written in a refreshingly lucid and engaging style, <i>Introducing Social Theory</i> provides readers with a wide-ranging, well organized and thematic introduction to all the major thinkers, issues and debates in classical and contemporary social theory.</p> <p><i>Introducing Social Theory</i> traces the development of social theorizing from the classical ideas about modernity of Durkheim, Marx and Weber, right up to a uniquely accessible review of the contemporary theoretical controversies in sociology that surround post-colonialism, gender and feminist theories, and public sociology.</p> The ideal textbook for students of sociology at all levels, from A-level to undergraduates, <i>Introducing Social Theory</i> is remarkably easy to follow and understand. This new edition lives up to its predecessors' goal that students need never be intimidated by social theory again.<br /><br />

<p>"This is a real treasure. This revised edition continues to focus on essential and practical aspects in major sociological theories. It introduces to readers - with clarity and succinctness - interlocking debates and themes in these theories. Moreover, it provides new exploration on theoretical practice in relations to public sociology and the uncertainties of modernity. I remain highly impressed!"<br />—<b>Peter Chua, San Jose State University</b></p> <p>"For a first taste of the complexity and richness of social theory, this book is excellent.
