Professing Sociology, Abridged Edition

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"All sociologists who have a serious interest in their discipline will want to read Professing Sociology... Social scien-tists, in general, should also be inter-ested, for as the subtitle suggests, the book is relevant to them too. This book is a contribution to sociology specifically and to social science in general, espe-cially as a critical review of recent de-velopments. It should also be useful as a textbook in graduate courses."-W. G. Steglich, The Rocky Mountain Social Science Journal

"The book has much to say to anthro-pologists as well as those who treat social science generally."-Judith G. Goode, American Anthropologist

"Irving Horowitz represents one of the more attractive features of American Sociology... [He] is best known as... one of the acutest critics of the pro-fession of sociology. This book repre-sents those of his essays which examine the contemporary history of American sociology, in particular its relationship to social policy."-Ioan Davies, New Society
