The Sociological Imagination
Worth every penny and time spent. A reference book for every sociologist. indispensable reading for any level professional sociologist, whether student, teacher or professional.
The Sociological Imagination
This book has vivid language and discriptions that real imagination is needed to interpret. Its information may very well be applicable to modern day research methods, but its presentation can hardly be for the average reader. A beautiful book anyway.
The Sociological Imagination
This book is excellent and should be used as text for most basic of cultural and social sciences courses to give the insight to the student that is needed as early as possible in the curriculum. This was an entertaining read that educated me with the knowledge that all aspects of our lives affect the way we perceive the world. This observation may of always been present but this book brings that IDEA to the conscious surface for use in analyzing any social behavior.
The Sociological Imagination
I bought this book to send to a teacher in Meghalaya, India who is taking a graduate degree in Sociology and it was a text in his own classes. He was thrilled to receive it because the standard of his work is raised according to the textbooks from his own reading list he is able to obtain.I cannot review the book (as I didn't read it), but repeat his appreciation and his promise to use it to serve his community.
The Sociological Imagination
Probably one of the most influential books in modern sociology, combining not only a wonderful characterisation of styles of sociology but also a commitment to interpreting the world and changing it.His appendix "On Intellectual Craftmanship" is a chapter I have ALL my graduate students read every year, and would wish all social scientists did so!
The Sociological Imagination
C. Wright Mills successfully presents a powerful view of what science and social science should be while effectively criticizing close-minded, bureacratic, and limited methodologies within fields. The book challenges us to do better, and to think outside of the box, and even the perspectives we share.
