Anthony Giddens by Lars Bo Kaspersen

Anthony Giddens by Lars Bo Kaspersen

Anthony Giddens is one of the world's most prominent and prolific sociologists, and yet he is also a difficult study for the beginning student of sociology. This is the first introduction to the work of Giddens, including the major part of his sociological and social theoretical project. The author traces Giddens' development from the late sixties to the nineties in a straightforward, readable style, covering all parts of Giddens's sociology in a well-arranged summary. Also featured is a lengthy interview with Giddens by the author, and the most comprehensive Giddens bibliography to date.

"An outstanding and readable introduction to the work of the UK's leading contemporary sociologist"
William Outhwaite, University of Sussex

"Kaspersen brings a sophisticated understanding of Giddens's entire agenda to this truly accessible text. Newcomers will welcome the reliable consolidations of Giddens's central themes. Advanced theorists will appreciate Kaspersen's trenchant criticisms and his extensive coverage of new developments in Giddens's political thought." Ira J. Cohen, Rutgers University
