Kelvingrove Review
"The new edition is an outstanding book. The coverage is
comprehensive, the lines of thought and exposition are clear, and
the level of discussion is very high yet remarkably lively and
accessible. It has an underlying intellectual seriousness and
engagement which shines out through the individual chapters, and
the authors' unwillingness to make do with secondary analyses and
received ideas gives it a strength and freshness of approach which
is extremely welcome. It is a very worthwhile update to an
exceptionally valuable book."
William Outhwaite, Newcastle University
"Modern social theory is complex, diverse and difficult. Baert
and Carreira da Silva are to be warmly congratulated for creating a
clear and comprehensive framework that makes lucid sense of this
theoretical complexity. The result is a sure but sophisticated
overview of contemporary social thought. A judicious guide, it is
an indispensable aid for students seeking an understanding of the
social world."
Bryan S. Turner, Wellesley College
