Description

Offers a comprehensive perspective on knowledge production in the field of sociology.

Moreover, it is a tribute to the scope of Merton's work and the influence Merton has had on the work and life of sociologists around the world.

This is reflected in each of the 12 chapters by internationally acclaimed scholars witnessing the range of fields Merton has contributed to as well as the personal impact he has had on sociologists.

This approach is in itself a tribute to Merton: an analysis of knowledge production through a contextualized review of an author's life-work - a quintessentially "Mertonian" enterprise.
