Críticas:

"Judith Blau's Companion is an impressive collection by a sociologist/editor who clearly knows her field and has done her homework. The volume is comprehensive enough to serve as a lifetime sociological companion, and will be useful not only to researchers, teachers, and students, but to sociologically curious general readers." Herbert J. Gans, Columbia University "Judith Blau has assembled an impressive group of international scholars who have written essays on the cutting edge of sociology today. Not only are the chapters first rate, but the range of topics is creative and new. The book reflects some of the changes in sociology over the last decade, and it presents new agendas for sociology in the next decade, and beyond. This exciting book is a 'must read' for all sociologists." Jonathan H. Turner, University of California-Riverside "Graduate students and scholars in sociology, economics and political science may find a few challenging essays and useful websites in their areas of interest." Choice "The chapters are informative, concise and lively. Beyond its utility as a reference, however, the spirit of the volume as a whole is a nice reminder that sociology remains an ambitious endeavour whose complexities and rewards may continue to grow with time"Contemporary Sociology
