Features: Although this book does not specifically discuss the construction of the discipline of sociology in China, it studies foreign experiences in the context of the practical issues of Chinese sociology's development and clearly puts forward its own views. The views are good, capturing the essence of the problem. American scholars, through practice, successfully introduced a discipline originally into American society, making it quickly become an influential discipline in the United States. At the same time, they naturally entered the field of international sociology research and achieved more remarkable accomplishments than the original Europeans, exerting a significant positive influence on American society. This process of introduction, participation, and development reflects not only the history of a discipline's development but also the "transplantation" history of academic thought, which holds reference value for us in introducing and assimilating sociological academic thought from outside our own country and entering the international academic research field.
