Very valuable, worth the price in every Sociology class
I found this dictionary very very valuable.I passed it around my Sociological Theory class so everyone could read its definitions and section on major theorists, and we all found it a wonderfull resource that provides solid definitons, as well as concise reviews on every theorist I have ever heard of. I wish I would have had this when I started my major.

I was so disapointed with this book! In comparison to similar dictionaries I have consulted,I found it to be quite inadeqate and at times not quite accurate in some of the explanations given.There were so many vital concepts,theorists,and theories absent, that it is not really possible to consider it a comprehensive reference for undergrad students embarking on a study of Sociology for the first time.I am almost at Doctoral level and I can honestly say I found relatively little in the book that was of any use to me, whereas I have other dictionaries which I purchased as an undergrad that I still find extremely useful when writing. All in all a very disappointing purchase.
