The book deals with all aspects of “Sociological Theories” in detail from Auguste Compte to Arnold J. Toynbee. In the introductory Chapter 1 various aspects of Social Thought have been described in an excellent manner. In the following Chapters the contributions of great sociologists like Auguste Compte, Karl Marx, Herbert Spencer, Sorokin, Max Weber, Cooley, Talcott Parsons, Vilfredo Pareto, Emile Durkheim, Ferdinand Tonnies, George Simmel, Thorstein Veblen, Robert K. Merton and Arnold J. Toynbee have been discussed in a clear and lucid way. Special importance has been given to Karl Marx and Emile Durkheim in Chapter 3 and 10 respectively and their various theories have been given in a graphic manner so as to meet the requirements of the students of Political Science and Public Administration in particular and other students in general.

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
