This book provides a very good overview of the main stages in the historical development of sociology. It also gives a potted version of some of the main schools of sociological theory. This book is to be recommended for students who have begun to study sociology and are looking for a quick guide to its history and theory. However a anyone using this book as an introduction would still require further information to understnd the full breadth of the social issues that sociology deals with as only some of these themes are touched on in the last few pages of the book.
