Reviews
'Talcott Parsons' theories remain central to the developing tradition of sociological theory, but access to his work has been difficult. His writings are complex and often shrouded in a unique terminology. Finally, there is a clear and direct way to engage his work. John Scott has written the first text that is both accurate and comprehensive. It is also a pleasant read. Students of sociological theory and professionals who have not studied Parsons intensively will enjoy and benefit from Professor Scott's landmark achievement.' -- Victor Lidz, Professor Emeritus, Department of Psychiatry, Drexel University College of Medicine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
