Miraculously, ′The Two Steves′ (Bruce and Yearley) have pulled it off, and with a refreshing sense of ′brio′. This compendium sets a new level of excellence. The authors have succeeded at one and the same time in covering the sociological landscape in a comprehensive and authoritative manner while writing with an insouciance, dry wit and critical edge . They present key concepts, ideas and personalities such that they are fully accessible to undergraduate students while being of practical use to more established scholars.
