"[This] book is very well organized, clear in its argument about the importance of social theory, and approachable to sociologists at almost any level...Rob Stones and the 23 contributors to the second edition of Key Sociological Thinkers have created an informative and exciting exploration of the most important persons in the formation of current sociological thought. The book is an excellent resource for teaching because of its focus on connecting complex theory to applicable daily life and complex social theory" - Todd. M.
