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 actual development of Chinese sociology 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 that originated in Europe into American society, quickly making it an influential discipline in the United States. At the same time, they naturally joined the ranks 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 both the history of a discipline's development and the "transplantation" history of academic thought, providing valuable reference for us to introduce and assimilate sociological academic thought from outside our own country and enter the international academic research field.
