About this title

Review

In Making Sense of Social Theory, Charles Powers provides a comprehensive and transparent overview of classical sociological theory. With its emphasis upon practical applications, this text will be of value to first-year college students and experienced hands alike.--Jeff Sallaz, PhD, University of Arizona

In the second edition of Making Sense of Social Theory, Charles Powers highlights the practical uses of social theory by expanding on real world, relatable examples that occur in everyday life. Students will find these examples accessible and ultimately learn a great deal about the applications of social theory in their own lives. Powers succeeds here in making classical and contemporary social theory--often obtuse and complex--relatable, sensible, and teachable.--Jonathan Isler, Assistant Professor of Sociology, University of Illinois at Springfield
