World-Systems Theory in Practice will appeal to individuals with an interest in the application of WST in both the Old World and the New World. The papers in this volume reflect the vitality of the debate concerning the use of such generalizing theories and will be of interest to archeologists, anthropologists, historians, sociologists, and those involved in the study of civilizations.

Recenzii
...very useful teaching materials... The more general papers by Thomas Hall and Andre Gunder Frank are also potentially useful as they provide stern critiques of the theory and how it is evolving into what seems like a paradigm.....
Stylistically, the papers hang together very well and the level is appropriate for advanced undergraduates, graduates, and scholars in the fields of anthropology/archaeology and world history. Historians will find this work useful both as a crib source for both lecture detail and, more importantly, as a theoretical overview to their World Civilizations survey courses.
Perhaps this is the most useful contribution of archaeology to World-Systems Theory.
Unsurprisingly, most of the book's authors adopt diverse intermediate positions. In this sence, the book works wonderfully well as an update in both the fundamental concepts of WST, and in the plethora of invigorating archeological responses to it.The central paper of the volume, both literally and conceptually, is Gill J. Stein's 'Rethinking World-Systems'. The editor, P. Nick Kardulias, should be commended for corralling between a single book's covers not only many of the most vocal participants in current debates about WST (Thomas D. Hall and Chris Chase-Dunn among them), but also a broad spectrum of archaeologists, historians, and social scientists with an interest in seeing if WST works for them. Nonetheless, as a primer on where wenow stand with WST, one could hardly have hoped for a more thorough and stimulating collection of papers..
