Anthem Companion to Max Weber

Alan Sica is professor of sociology and founding director of the Social Thought Program at Pennsylvania State University. Former editor of the journals Sociological Theory and Contemporary Sociology, he has written and edited several books on social theory, particularly on Max Weber. Sica has taught at Amherst College and at the universities of Kansas, Chicago, California/Riverside and Pennsylvania.

The Anthem Companions to Sociology offers wide ranging and masterly overviews of the works of major sociologists. The volumes in the series provide authoritative and critical appraisals of key figures in modern social thought. These books, written and edited by leading figures, are essential additional reading on the history of sociology. — Gerard Delanty, Professor of Sociology, University of Sussex, Brighton
