They show how the classical apparatus is in use, even though it is being directed in new ways in response to the changing character of society. Text examines the pivotal theories of Marx, Durkheim, and Weber. Updated and expanded chapters present detailed expositions of their thoughts, rather than critical responses and interpretations.
