Review
"Meticulously chosen selections from the 'founding fathers' (Marx, Weber, Durkheim) and their twentieth century successors (from Simmel and Mead to Blumer and Parsons). Introductory essays which are at once deep and lucid, broad and succinct. Calhoun and his collaborators have produced the best theory reader there is." Philip Gorski, University of Wisconsin-Madison
