Book Overview: In fourteen substantive chapters, Taylor and his co-authors offer a coherent and accessible account of the 'massive and diverse' enterprise that is contemporary sociology...The expertise in all chapters is evident in the authoritative account of how sociological thought and research in each area has reached its current state as a basis for discussing the indications and prospects for further work...The collection is exemplary. While accessible to lay readers as well as undergraduates, it does not compromise the scale or complexity of the topics addressed.' - The Times Higher Education Supplement
