Revue de presse: `A neat and clear introduction to the sociological traditions which will provide a cojent structure of reading for first year undergraduates.' Stephen McCorry, University of Plymouth

`Contains essential focus, is easy to follow and access.' A. Ducklin, Moray House Institute of Education

`A solid introductory account of the principal sociological theories.' Barry Goldson, University of Liverpool

A very welcome text ... in many ways more integrated than most theory texts ... I highly recommend this book as a supplement to theory courses. As a broad overview, it will be a most useful addition to the syllabus. Further, the text is exceedingly well written ... The tone of Four Sociological Traditions is highly optimistic and, I feel, helps to foster excitement for the subject. This is a fresh and much needed text. (Sociology)
