The author's concise presentation allows students and instructors to focus on central themes. The text lets theorists speak for themselves, presenting key passages from each theorist's corpus, bringing theory to life. The approach allows instructors the opportunity to help students learn to unpack sometimes complex prose, just as it offers inroads to class discussion. Chapters on Addams and early feminism, on Habermas and the Frankfurt School, on Foucault, and on globalization and contemporary movements round out contemporary coverage. The book presents and explains key theories, just as it provides an introduction to central debates about them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBerch Berberoglu\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Sociology and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Sociology at the University of Nevada, Reno.
