Recommended reading by Notre Dame Prof. Christian Smith.
I'm reading this to get a head-start on my PhD program in Sociology. It seems to be a good introduction for someone who has not studied the history of sociology or much sociological theory.
It surveys the thought of 5 or so prominent and early sociologists and begins the coverage with a biographical sketch of the theorist, which provides very useful context.
