Reviews
"An outstanding and readable introduction to the work of the UK's leading contemporary sociologist."
William Outhwaite, University of Sussex
"Kaspersen brings a sophisticated understanding of Giddens's entire agenda to this truly accessible text. Newcomers will welcome the reliable consolidations of Giddens's central themes. Advanced theorists will appreciate Kaspersen's trenchant criticisms and his extensive coverage of new developments in Giddens's political thought." Ira J. Cohen, Rutgers University
