Written in a direct, personal style, Classical Social Theory's thematic structure helps the reader compare the theorists systematically, and the book-by-book approach pays close attention to each thinker's key texts, quoting the most important passages and analysing them in a clear, straightforward way. Other student-friendly features include:* biographical details and an elementary overview of the work of Marx, Weber, Durkheim, and Simmel* Dramatis Personae with brief details of the life and thought of other relevant thinkers* Glossary covering important terms and phrases used in the textClassical Social Theory is an indispensable guide to the key thinkers in Sociology for anyone new to the subject.
