Craig Calhoun's review of the American original (AJS, 1988) was pretty devastating, but as the effort of a "public intellectual" he gives it higher marks for style than "most of its socialist counterparts": "in Berger the neoconservative movement finds a far more intellectually worthy representative than George Gilder." On the other hand, it was selected as one of the 100 most influential books in the West since 1945 (Central and East European Publishing Project, 1995).

VOLUME TWO ONLY. The first volume covers sociologists who died before the end of 1969 (not present here). First published as a one-volume work in 1959. Unlike most lexica, the "Bernsdorf" consists mostly of signed articles by real sociologists able to compress an image of scholarship into articles of 1/2 to 1 1/2 dense text pages. For example, pages 570-572 on Robert K. Merton by Kurt H. Wolff. Heavily weighted towards German sociology, hence full of insights unavailable to US scholarship: for example, the entry by K. Dammann on Jürgen Seifert (775-76).

17 essays. Authors include Lewis Coser on American Trends, Kurt H. Wolff on Phenomenology and Sociology, Julien Freund on German Sociology in the time of Max Weber, Anselm Strauss and Berenice Fisher on Interactionism (Mead, Blumer), others. The reviews for this volume were mixed. Craig Calhoun found some weak points, Alvin Boskoff liked Kenneth Bock (on progress, development, and evolutionism), Robert Nisbet (on conservative theories of Maistre and Bonald), and Alan Dawe (theories of social action), but called Freund's essay "a rather skimpy analysis of Tonnies, Simmel, and Weber". The defect of such collections is revealed by one reviewer's statement: "In recent sociology there have been no new paradigms which have been clearly advances over those produced during the "golden age" of sociology." - of course the great advances are to be found here but one must piece them together from chapters on phenomenology, interactionism, exchange theory, and evolution. The sociologists writing their own history were not able, even at this late date, to see that history taking place.

Home university library of modern knowledge, [174]. Deals with culture, civilization, race, environment, mental development, the growth of socieities. Between the wars Ginsberg and L. T. Hobhouse were the only sociologists in England (J. A. Banks, 1989) and had done empirical work only in the sense of collecting data from published historical reports. In his review A. M. Carr-Saunders wrote amusingly: "It is one thing to welcome a book like this, and another to admit that is an argument for, and far less a proof of, the existence of sociology." Which shows the status of sociology in Britain at the time. Ginsberg would greatly assist Karl Mannheim during the early years of his emigration in London, ending however in professional conflict.

Homans had already read Pareto, became Henderson's assistant and was persuaded by Curtis that they should put together this introduction. Homans considered it "still a good introduction" in 1983. At the time, Pareto's Treatise had not yet appeared in English translation. Robert K. Merton's rather skeptical review of Homans' introduction nevertheless confessed "This book establishes a new high mark in the popularization of PARETO'S sociology" though he did not share their view of Pareto as a sociological Copernicus. As Charles Tilly recalled in his obituary, Homans considered Talcott Parsons "guilty of both fuzzy thought and sloppy writing" - in fact, he felt that neither Parsons nor Merton really knew what a theory was; all in all - a glimpse of American sociology meeting European sociology before the Americans had gained classic status themselves, and an entry point into the conflicts within the Harvard network.

Science in the service of the Vaterland in times of crisis, in this case: Kinderheilkunde. In his choice of themes for his inaugural lecture he has determined: "dass es Deutschlands Mütter sind, die der Heimat die Söhne schenkten, deren Heldengeist einer ganzen Welt von Feinden siegreich zu widerstehen vermag, und dass wiederum Deutschlands Mütter dazu berufen sind, eine neue Generation großzuziehen, die sich der Opfer, die die Väter brachten, würdig erweiset, und die selbst kräftig, gesund und zahlreich genug ist, Bestand, Unabhängigkeit und Freiheit ihres Vaterlandes auch in alle Zukunft gegen jeden Feind zu schützen." Deals in body of text with institutions for mothers: special schools, settlements, medical facilities.

Outstanding biography making complete use of Mumford's personal papers, combines insights into his personal psychology, intimate family history, and his more than 50 years as a journalist, regional planning consultant, and scholar of city-life. Miller suggests but does not pursue the criticism of Mumford's green-belt philosophy as a forerunner of the suburban sprawl he so disliked. But he does open for study the fascinating link of American organicism to the conservative revolution in German thought, marked by Mumford's reception of Spengler and his own massive cultural history: the "Renewal of Life" series. The biography also introduces a rich cast of New York journalists, scholars, and intellectual drop-outs who invite further study: Joel Spingarn, Van Wyck Brooks, Carl van Doren, Paul Rosenfeld, Constance Rourke, Waldo Frank, Matthew Josephson, Benton MacKaye and many others.

Subject of the dissertation is protestant dissent in early 19th century England. The concluding chapter is titled: Die Gründe für das Verhalten des Dissent. Independent church groups innovate much faster than the established Churches, she concludes. As evidence that: "Minderheiten, die eigentlich im öffentlichen Leben der Völker eine untergeordnete Rolle zu spielen scheinen, für die geistige Entwicklung und damit für die Entwicklung schlechthin zu großer Bedeutung gelangen, ließen sich Beispiele aus allen Zeiten und Völker anführen.".

First edition. The book was reprinted in 1980 with an introduction by Sven Papcke who locates Treitschke's early work in the social and intellectual conflict over the relationship between state and society, with Treitschke trying to suppress their separation and assert the continued power of the state. The result, according to Papcke, was a delay in the development of sociology in Germany, and hence of the power of the state to plan for and direct that society. The resulting failure to understand social conflict in modern times also hindered the development of political culture in Germany.

Berger], $35
Zijderveld is heavily influenced by Peter L. Berger (ex. The Precarious Vision, 1961) and by the phenomenological sociology tradition revived by him: Schuetz, Plessner, Huizinga. Oddly he does not seem to cite Heinrich Lützeler's, Philosophie des Kölner Humors, although Lützeler as a student of Max Scheler falls into this same tradition.
