"Ritzer has created the literal bible of sociology - a comprehensive and vital tome that houses an ever-evolving snapshot of the structure of our society ... Blackwell's Encyclopedia of Sociology deserves a place in all college-level libraries. Simply, we have seen no other sociological-based resource as comprehensive or as classy - this point of reference that outlines the academic mission in beautiful almost elegant terms, in turn recording our never-ending quest for knowledge and enlightenment."
