"For nearly fifty years, Neil Smelser has been one of the world's
most distinguished sociologists. His intellectual range is
remarkable, and so too his influence over the discipline. The
essays collected here are a fitting tribute precisely because they
are intellectually rich, diverse, thought-provoking and unafraid of
controversy. They offer commanding views of a dozen subfields,
syntheses of important lines of work, and agendas for the
future."--Craig Calhoun, President, Social Science Research Council
"If the legacy of scholars is measured by the work of their
students, Neil Smelser has done very well indeed. The great range
of topics covered in this volume is a testament to his sociological
breath. This collection should be read for what it reveals about
the many dimensions of an intellectual life well lived, as well as
for what it teaches about the past and the present of our
discipline."--Michele Lamont, co- author of" Rethinking Comparative
Cultural Sociology: Repertoires of Evaluation in France and the
United States
"A brilliant collection of essays giving expression to the
diversity and depth of Neil Smelser's scholarly and intellectual
achievement. The authors show how Smelser's multidisciplinary
synthesis represents a summary of the achievements of economics,
psychology and sociology in the second half of the twentieth
century."--Bryan S. Turner, author of "The Body and Society
