Invitation to Sociology: A Humanistic Perspective by Peter L. Berger

informative lighthearted medium-paced

4.0

I'm supposed to begin a masters in sociology later this year, and my colleague lent me this book saying it would make a good start. I'd have to agree - it covers a number of major thinkers, and contains the author's insights into the state and history of the field. I enjoyed the tone of wry humour that he adopts, but also, sometimes the writing is downright powerful. Lucid and persuasive.
