"The best book about the discipline and practice of sociology since C. Wright Mills's Sociological Imagination." --Rhonda Levine, Colgate University "Charles Lemert interweaves biography, sociological inquiry, and social processes into a bright, subtle fabric." --Charles Tilly, Joseph L. Buttenwieser Professor of Social Science, Columbia University "Provocative and gracefully written. One of those rare ruminations on the human condition that makes you want to return to it after your first reading to ponder its ideas." --Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United States and professor emeritus of Political Science, Boston University "Not many books can be used in a variety of courses...introduction, theory, methods, capstone seminars...This book is an exception. Students reading the book at different stages of their careers will take something different away...every time they read it." --Teaching Sociology
