This book...provides a whirlwind tour of Bell's central preoccupations. In this compact and readable projection of Bell's sociology, Malcolm Waters has put together a clear exposition of Bell's prodigious intellect.... Daniel Bell has provided a sociological banguet for us to digest, and Water's book majestically sets the table.

Product Description
Malcolm Waters presents a clear introduction to Bell's arguments and a critical appreciation of the strengths and weaknesses of his work. He draws mainly on the three books that have made Bell famous, The End of Ideology, The Coming of Postindustrial Society and The Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism, but Waters also covers lesser-known works on education and social forecasting. Daniel Bell is a thoroughly comprehensive account of the work of a key, albeit highly controversial, contemporary sociological figure.
