An Introduction to the Work of Pierre Bourdieu: The Practice of Theory

by Richard K. Harker (Editor), Cheleen Mahar (Editor), Chris Wilkes (Editor)

Pierre Bourdieu has been making a distinguished contribution to European sociology for the past 25 years. He is Professor of Sociology at the Collge de France in Paris and author of many influential books including, most recently, Distinction and Homo Academicus, which have both been translated into English. This book serves to introduce this important body of work to the Anglo-American world. In a cross-disciplinary collaboration Richard Harker, Cheleen Mahar and Chris Wilkes provide the reader with the necessary tools to understand this complex and rewarding body of French sociology. Post modernist sociology has already been influenced by the French theorist Foucault; it is likely that the generation to come will be reading Bourdieu.

Ridiculously cute. But I must admit I was a little disappointed the comic is in black and white and not in color. The catepillar insanely cute. I love the Owl taking care of him/her. The first story we are introduced to the catepillar and the Owl. In the second story, a couple of hummingbirds enters into the mix. Very cute. Most likely will read more of these.
