Description - Readings from Emile Durkheim by Prof Kenneth Thompson

Emile Durkheim is regarded as a 'founding father' of sociology, and is studied in all basic sociology courses. This handy textbook provides an excellent collection of the key passages from Durkheim's major works and successfully presents the core of his sociology. With this accessible text, Kenneth Thompson has effectively filled a gap that previously existed in the literature available on Durkheim, by providing an outstanding collection of modern and reliable translations from works such as De la division du travail social (1893), Les regales de la methode sociologique (1895), Le suicide (1897) and Les formes elementaires de la vie religieuse (1912). Offering both in-depth coverage and useful reference, this text provides an indispensable aid to those seeking to gain access to Durkheim's writing. The enduring popularity of Readings From Emile Durkheim has prompted this revised edition, which will continue to appeal to students of sociology across all different levels.
