Although an excellent book in itself, the book was too theoretical for the type of applied sociology students we have attending our health and social care courses.
After reading Turner’s book I feel a great bit smarter and knowledgeable in the field of sociological theory.
I like the book very much, but it is too advanced and exploratory to work on an undergraduate programme.
The book has not adopted for the course Sociology of Social Change but for a post-graduate course on sociological thoery which is still in preparation.
A really refreshing book on sociologiocal theory! Not just a repetition of the old stories.
Superb, original, cleverly designed book. Of use for postgraduate students primarily, and an valuable aid to the use of theory in research.
I very much appreciated the easy to read style which departs from the usual design of this type of subject. It is likely to keep the attention of students and certainly is comprehenisive in its coverage especially in its excellent fusion of social philosophy and ideological assumptions behind sociological theories.
This will provide students new to sociology with a comprehensive awareness of the meanings and value of theory within this mode of inquiry into our social world.
An excellent and highly readable text that clearly explains what sociological theory is and how it should be used.
This is a exciting, wonderfully entertaining and lucidly written introduction to sociological theory.
