Overview

Classical and Contemporary Sociological Theory, Third Edition is a text/reader that introduces students to the ideas and writings of key theorists from sociology’s 19th century founders through the present. Authors Scott Appelrouth and Laura Desfor Edles combine original texts, edited for classroom use, with extensive framing discussions that provide crucial biographical, historical, and theoretical context for readings. The book also provides an overarching scaffolding that students can use to examine, compare, and contrast each theorist’s major themes and concepts. This unique format, combined with frequent use of photos, tables, and diagrams, makes Classical and Contemporary Sociological Theory in the Contemporary Era a lively, engaging, and “student-friendly” introduction to the world of theory.

Editorial Reviews

…the readers will be quite appealing to both students and instructors – much better than what is currently available.”

Julie Harms Cannon

I am thrilled by the hybrid approach. I think the authors’ approach is right on – they are right: we do need a reader which has solid primary source material but is embedded in historical and theoretical discussion and explication. I think the text/reader combination is highly attractive – especially for professors teaching at big public institutions I think this approach will be happily received and widely appreciated.”

Phil Zuckerman

The format of this text is exceptional, and on that the discipline sorely needs. The authors present thorough biographical and historical backgrounds relevant to each theorist and her/his theories. I believe this is essential to learning and understanding theory…the authors use examples that will aid students in shaping their ability to see theory in their lives.”

Chris Ponticelli

I am very impressed by the coverage in this reader. I think the selections are excellent for both the classical and contemporary time periods.”
