Media Reviews
The essays collected here are a fitting tribute precisely because they are intellectual, rich, diverse, thought-provoking, and unafraid of controversy. - Craig Calhoun, President, Social Science Research Council; If the legacy of scholars is measured by the work of their students, Neil Smelser has done very well indeed. - Michele Lamont, coeditor of Rethinking Comparative Cultural Sociology
