Reviews

'With the passing of Margaret Archer, Critical Realism has lost its foremost sociologist, and Social Sciences in general a towering theoretician. In this engaging new book, Graham Scambler offers what he calls a ""critical appraisal"" of Archer's corpus. Well-written and insightful, this first full-length valuation helps us all absorb the full significance of Archer's work.' Professor Douglas V. Porpora, Drexel University, Philadelphia, USA. 'An elegant exposition of Margaret Archer’s work, including various critiques, debates and applications in health and beyond. In doing so, Graham Scambler proves the perfect guide to a key sociologist whose contribution to the field was immense. The book will appeal to students and seasoned scholars alike in sociology, social theory and cognate domains.' Simon Williams, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, University of Warwick, UK.
