Features: This book was published in 2003 and is a newly compiled and published textbook on sociological theory by Ritzer. It was written to meet the needs of some schools offering a one-semester short course on sociological theory. The writing style of the book has also undergone significant changes, no longer arranged by figures or theoretical schools but by themes. In addition to the introduction, the book contains 8 chapters. It is rich in content yet concise and clear, making it an excellent introductory book for readers who want to systematically and comprehensively understand sociological theory but have limited time.
