Very few people can pack so many complex theories and explain their nuances so well in such a simple, clear manner. This is not to say that the book is a 'simple read,' because the theories and the tensions are extremely complex and muddled. But anyone who has read the original readings--pick Foucault, Baudrillard, Garfinkel, or whoever you like--would appreciate how CLEAR Ritzer and Goodman are. This book provides a gateway and an invitation to complex theoretical thoughts. It is also an authoritative and reliable reference text.
the easiest theory book ever. but sometimes the detail has been omitted which I'm not fine with.. for non-sociology majors, but want to use it for other purposes (for papers for history classes and what not) it's okay
the information I found was very useful. I also found other information as well. I am happy with this purchace
