Synopsis
This compact introductory text offers a coherent overview of sociological theory. Explaining sociology's seminal discoveries with an elegant simplicity that not only makes them easily understood, Charles H. Powers also conveys sociology's intellectual coherence as a discipline. Unlike most authors, he treats sociology as a serious science, thus providing readers with a set of theoretical principles that summarizes the discoveries made by major contributors to sociological thought. These principles cover sociology's core theories and affirm its explanatory power for understanding face-to-face, organizational, and societal events. Making a compelling case that theory and research are symbiotic, this book will be invaluable for readers who want to understand how sociological theory and sociological research can be meaningfully intertwined. It offers a clear and compelling view of theory as a tool that should both inform and be informed by the research process. After finishing this text, readers will be armed with useful insights, will see sociology as more unified and coherent, and will embrace the power of the discipline to offer meaningful explanation.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Making Sense of Social Theory is unusual in treating sociology as a real science with a body of understandable, robust, and powerful theoretical insights. These theoretical insights are formalized in twelve simple axioms and twenty-three more detailed principles readers can use to predict (1) differences among people in how they think, feel, and respond, (b) changes in the structure, culture, and effectiveness of organizations, and (c) trends in societal values, conflict, and priorities.
