As a student of sociology, I have to say that this is a practical textbook, yet lacking in many aspects.
Ritzer tends to simplify some very important aspects of many theories. On the other side, he often pays much attention to less important aspects of grand theories.
I am not a passionate Marxist, but the lack of attention given to Neo-marxism is a big minus.
I am an European student and am therefore used to heavier literature, so this opinion might be biased. But in my opinion, this book oversimp ...more

به نظرم سه کتاب هست که اگر کسی بخواد بدونه جامعه شناسی در چه مورد حرف می زنه باید بخونه. اولی «زندگی و اندیشه بزرگان جامعه شناسی کوزر» دومی «نظریه های جامعه شناسی ریتزر» و سومی «جامعه شناسی گیدنز»
its so great
Visserligen kurslitteratur men gillar sociologisk teori och George Ritzer skriver väldigt väl, tydligt och förståeligt om olika teorier. Gör att även den som inte är van vid sociologiska teorier förstår de mer tyngre teorierna.
Elaborate, informative, a little bit academic, but all in all a useful and an insightful reference.

A thorough but uninspired summary of major theorists
یکی از مهم‌ترین کتاب‌ها در حوزه جامعه‌شناسی این کتاب است. کتاب که هر دانشجوی جامعه‌شناسی و کسی که در این حوزه مطالعه و پژوهش می‌کنند باید بخوانند. این کتاب بعد از کتاب جامعه‌شناسی گیدنز، حکم توضیح‌المسائل جامعه‌شناسی را دارد.
