The New Sociological Imagination (Electronic book text)

In this major new invitation to study sociology, Steve Fuller critically examines the history of the social sciences to discover what the key contributions of sociology have been and how relevant they remain. He demonstrates how biological and sociological themes have been intertwined from the beginning of both disciplines from the 19th century to the present day, whilst covering virtually all of sociology's classic theorists and themes. A glossary of key thinkers and concepts is provided. This book sets the agenda for imagining sociology in the 21st century and will attract students and professionals alike.
