On the whole, these dictionaries are a broad spectrum of various terms related to the subject. The success of natural sciences gave rise to attempts to understand human society in the same objective way and formulate its laws. Karl Marx who investigated ‘the laws of motion of capitalism’ may be considered the father of sociology. Others followed in quick succession. Engels studied the Red Indian society of North America, Dedekind studied the rate of suicide in France, Max Weber studied the relation between Protestantism and Capitalism. That the attempt to find laws of human society failed, does not take away anything from the fact that a vast body of knowledge was unearthed. Sociology and Anthropology are now respectable subjects with well-defined syllabi and can be taken as optional subjects in many competitive examinations.

This dictionary shall give the reader an overview of sociology, its discoveries, its principal pioneers etc. that no other similar volume can. A must buy for every serious student!.
