Written by one of the foremost American authorities on sociological theory, Modern Sociological Theory gives readers a comprehensive overview of the history of modern sociological thought, as well as an analysis of the most important contemporary schools and new theoretical orientations. Organized chronologically, this text begins with a synopsis of the formative years and concludes with the emergence of postmodern (and even post-post modern) social theory, integrating key theories with biographical and autobiographical sketches of the lives of theorists to place readings in their personal and historical context. The fifth edition has been thoroughly updated and revised to include a number of sections on new developments in the field, such as theories of consumption and the new means of consumption, multiculturalism, criticisms and applications of postmodernism, and post-post modernism.

Ritzer memang salah satu pakar sosiologi abad-20 yang mejadi sumbangsih khasanah sosiologi, Buku ini memang seperti kebanyakan buku sosiologi "babon" lainnya yang merangkum teori-teori yang sudah ada di buku lain. Saya kira tidak ada yang membaca buku ini dari jilid ke jilid, namun patut disayangkan buku ini kurang cocok sebagai buku pengantar karena bahasa yang digunakan terlalu kaku dan sulit dipahami dan minim contoh, namun sangat cocok bagi yang ingin menambah pengetahuan sosiologi tambahan dengan pemahaman yang tinggi. Buku ini menjelaskan perkembangan teori sosiologi modern yang berkembang dari beberpa ahli.

This was the text for my graduate theory class, and while it was informative, it wasn't nearly as "pleasant" to read as the Wallace & Wolf text I reviewed earlier. And that matters to me. Theory is so cerebral, so potentially difficult, that I think it's important to make sure it's not so dull and dry and rote as this text.
