Description

Sociology: From Crisis to Science? is a major systematic and comparative account of the state of the art in sociology. It provides students with a comprehensive introduction to current developments and presents professional sociologists with an authoritative overview of current developments in sociology and its sub-disciplines since the 1960s. Volume 1, The Sociology of Structure and Action, explores the theories and methods through which sociologists explain the structure of society; both its socio-economic base and political superstructure.
