Recenzii

Encyclopaedic in detail but also engaging, balanced, and accessible. Paul Ransome has produced a text of some originality: a beginners' guide thatcovers every nook and cranny of social thought. I have little doubt that itwill prove to be of indispensable use for undergraduates of all levels ofstudy. Shaun Le Boutillier, Anglia Ruskin University

The attention paid to the importance of metaphorical and chronological definitions is invaluable to beginners attempting to construct relevant literature around the different time scales in social theory. 2nd Year student in BA Human Geography
