Excellent overview

This is an excellent overview of theoretical sociology. I don't understand why it is out of print. Theoretical means that the book tries to understand society in a general sense. The book has a historical perspective but it also deals with the issues as they stand today. So the book is not just of historical interest. Thankfully, there is nothing about sociology of gender, religion, crime or this and that in this book. You can find the Indian edition if you search for it on the Internet. I hope the US edition will be back in print.
