Merton is generally considered the father of modern Sociology and a major influence in the study of criminology. This was his first book and has become established as a work of central importance in the social science. The 1968 edition includes the complete 1957 text and two new essays; "On the History and Systematic of Sociological Theory," and "On Sociological Theories of the Middle Range," This is a very good copy in a dust jacket with moderate edge wear, mainly at the top. There is some soiling and darkening of the spine. The jacket is now protected with a Brodart cover.
