Editorial Reviews
Review
"Even for the psychoanalytically oriented reader this book holds more than merely historical interest. One cannot help being impressed by the wealth of knowledge and the perspicacity revealed in it, and there have certainly been few more compact presentations of socio-psychological problems…Psychoanalysts no less than sociologists will find the study of Durkheim’s book instructive and rewarding. The editor and translators are to be commended for making the work available in an excellent and remarkably lucid translation.” —Psychoanalytic Quarterly
"Durkheim's contribution was a very considerable one...No investigation of the subject can disregard his views."—American Journal of Psychiatry

If you want to know why things seem so crazy and people vote against their own best interests read this book. It helps explain why too many people are duped into believing that Climate Change is a hoax, why drug use is are running rampant, and why desperate people want the End of Days to happen.

Too many overly used big words, like come on all that for no reason. Good information though.

As a person with an undergraduate degree in sociology and a Ph.D. in sociology, I am VERY familiar with Durkheim's SUICIDE. I, of course, have a hard copy of the book.
The problem with the hard copy is it lacks an index. For me, I really need an index for my current research. As a result, I purchased a Kindle edition of this classic research study. It's GREAT. I use the word search on my e-edition and use my hard copy to search the pages around my word search. Believe it or not, it has been a great time saver.

Good content. Can't say the same for the print.

One less star for the print quality of the book. The cover is okay but the page quality isn't as great as many others out there. As far as the content goes, I recommend more people read into Durkheim's works.
