Summary note

Three sociologists from the University of Barcelona set out not the theories they like best, but the ones that are most used, and most referred to in contemporary sociological practice. They write primarily for students of sociology, but also, they say, for social activists involved in daily struggle. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
