Recenzii

This book's originality lies in its manner of presentation and witty, engaging style that manages to be entertaining while at the same time providing a remarkably coherent overview of the field of sociology based on Wright's 40 years of teaching, research, and reading on the fundamental structures and processes that prevail in human societies.
James Wright is one of the most brilliant people I've ever met, and if decision-makers listened to what he has to say, we would undoubtedly live in a better world. Accordingly, everyone should read The Key to (Almost) Everything.
The overall idea-to provide a comprehensive yet accessible and entertaining introduction to sociology for adults-is brilliant. The writing style of the authors matches this goal; it is precise and substantively informative, yet easy to follow and draws in the reader.
