출판사 서평

“This book therefore gives us an excellent representation of the current state of academic sociology in the Western world . . . This one can be recommended as a sound, comprehensive outline of the main fields of sociological study to those libraries that do not feel that they already have an adequate stock of recent books on the topic.”& (Reference Reviews, 1 December 2012)“Graduate students will find this to be an excellent preparation for qualifying examination, and they and young faculty will find numerous ideas for research projects.& Summing Up: Highly recommended.& For universities and libraries of sociology graduate departments.”& (Choice, 1 August 2012)&
