The Social Lens: An Invitation to Social and Sociological Theory
"This textbook’s tone invites the student reader in to explore with the author each new chapter of uncovered ground. . . . Allan also encourages students to think beyond the theory on the page to its implications for global society by providing what he calls ‘theory you can use’ . . . a fresh, new and bold approach to the theory textbook."(Barbara J.
