'Drawing on a wealth of practical and academic experience, Lisa Jack illuminates the many ways in which social theory has informed accounting research. Stimulating, accessible and thoroughly engaging, this is the book that will bring accounting into the very heart of the social sciences.' - Rob Stones, Professor of Sociology, Western Sydney University, Australia 'At last, we have a book that makes social theory and accounting understandable to new researchers. Taking us through some of the central concepts from social theorists; explaining what they mean and the implications for accounting research.' - Liz Warren, Director of Learning and Teaching, Business School, University of Greenwich, UK 'Lisa Jack provides an excellent introduction to the impact social theory has had on accounting research. She adopts an innovative approach to accounting research by looking at issues in social theory, such as power, time and space, change, structure and agency. This book is an apt reminder of accounting's contested and often contradictory social role.' - Dr Stewart Smyth, Co-Director, The Centre for Research into Accounting and Finance in Context, University of Sheffield, UK
