About the Author
DR STEVE TAYLOR is based in the Department of Sociology at the London School of Economics. His publications include Durkheim and the Study of Suicide (Macmillan), Suicide (Addison Wesley Longman) and, with David Field, Sociology of Health and Health Care and Sociological Perspectives of Health, Illness and Health Care (both Blackwell Science).
Review
'In fourteen substantive chapters, Taylor and his co-authors offer a coherent and accessible account of the 'massive and diverse' enterprise that is contemporary sociology...The expertise in all chapters is evident in the authoritative account of how sociological thought and research in each area has reached its current state as a basis for discussing the indications and prospects for further work...The collection is exemplary. While accessible to lay readers as well as undergraduates, it does not compromise the scale or complexity of the topics addressed.' - The Times Higher Education Supplement
