Overview
Daniel Bell is perhaps the most famous sociologist of his generation. He has been hailed as the prophet of the emergence of a new society, the postindustrial society, and as one of the leading conservative critics of contemporary culture.In this invaluable introduction, Malcolm Waters presents Bell's arguments clearly and fairly, as well as noting the problems with his work. The three books that have made Bell famous, The End of Ideology, The Coming of Post-Capitalism are drawn upon, as well as his lesser known works on education and social forecasting. A thoroughly comprehensive account of a key, albeit highly controversial, contemporary sociological figure.

Booknews
A collection of nine essays exploring culture, the sociology of intellectuals, industrial society, socialism, revolution, and modernity. Although collected in honor of Zygmunt Bauman, the selected papers do not respond to any particular work of the Polish intellectual and teacher but rather mirror his life as they address questions of intellectual migration, technocracy and democracy, the prospects of a socialist economy in Europe, and the fate of the middle class.
