Considering this is basically a sociology textbook, it's well-written and presents many of the facts without bias. It can act as a window into a bygone era, that even upon its re-release in the 1960s was already a relic of the past. For that reason, I enjoyed it. Otherwise, it's a textbook and thus rather dry and occasionally redundant.

Un classique. On apprend beaucoup sur leur vie, mais malheureusement pas beaucoup sur leur travail.

One of the first empiric efforts to describe social reality.
