"Durkheim was the most deliberate and the most penetrating theorist among the classical sociologists. Emirbayer's judicious selection of texts, matched with contemporary selections from among the best of modern sociology, shows how central Durkheimian themes have been in the increasing sophistication of sociological ideas through the end of the twentieth century, and beyond." Randall Collins, University of Pennsylvania
