Product Description

Praise for the First Edition:

`Totally reliable… the authors have produced a book urgently needed by all those charged with introducing students to the classics… quite indispensable' - Times Higher Education Supplement

This is a fully updated and expanded new edition of the successful undergraduate text. Providing a lucid examination of the pivotal theories of Marx, Durkheim and Weber, the authors submit that these figures have decisively shaped the discipline. They show how the classical apparatus is in use, even though it is being directed in new ways in response to the changing character of society.

Written with the needs of undergraduates in mind, the text is essential reading for students in sociology and social theory.

Understanding CIassical Sociology4
This book is part of my BA litterature. I find some of the concepts of Marx and Weber extremely difficult to understand, but Hughes & al help to clarify difficult concepts and put things in order for me. I like the background information on all three theorists because this makes it easier to place their theories in a context.
