Consequences of Modernity

This is the kind of book that confronts a discipline, in this case sociology, with a number of issues that can provide a formidable agenda for those who pursue them. . . . It is geared to a wide audience that seeks new insights into the questions modernity has generated." -- Choice" Few contemporary social scientists bring more determination and talent to the daunting task of creating a new tradition than Anthony Giddens. Elements of virtually every classic and contemporary social scientific school and an impressive array of philosophical traditions, each critically assessed and modified, find a home in Giddens' s paradigm. . . . Giddens' s new beginning represents a significant step toward the regeneration of our discipline." -- Contemporary SociologyGiddens, Anthony is the author of 'Consequences of Modernity' with ISBN 9780804717625 and ISBN 0804717621.
