Reviews

The book is outstanding in its penetration and coverage of the main streams in sociological/social theory. <br>-Serena Bufton, Sheffield Hallam University <br> A new edition is timely. There have been many substantial changes in the discipline. The opening up of new concerns and the questioning of established perspectives and methodologies. I think that this new edition captures effectively the nature of these new concerns, takes the debate forward, and presents them usefully to new undergraduates. <br>-David Newton, Staffordshire University <br>
