The Emerald Guide to Talcott Parsons

''Talcott Parsons’ theories remain central to the developing tradition of sociological theory, but access to his work has been difficult. His writings are complex and often shrouded in a unique terminology. Finally, there is a clear and direct way to engage his work. John Scott has written the first text that is both accurate and comprehensive. It is also a pleasant read. Students of sociological theory and professionals who have not studied Parsons intensively will enjoy and benefit from Professor Scott’s landmark achievement.'' This book is an introductory guide to the work of Talcott Parsons, designed specifically for students and those new to his work. It offers a comprehensive guide to reading and understanding the development of Parsons’s sociological ideas, placing them in the context of his life and his position in American sociology.
