The Polya Picture Album: Encounters of a Mathematician - - Bog - Springer-Verlag New York Inc. - Plusbog.dk

ver the years mathematicians visiting Stanford sometimes O enjoyed guided tours through the P6lya photograph album led by Professor P6lya himself. He identified pictures and passed along personal reminiscences and stories about individuals and meetings represented there. The album spans the greater part of the twentieth century and, on occasion, reaches back to the nineteenth. A few years ago, at the urging of Donald J. Albers, then editor of the TWo-Year College Mathematics Journal (now the College Mathematics Journal), P6lya and I prepared a small selection of pictures with some descriptive material and anecdotes that usually accompanied tours through the album. This appeared in the September 1983 issue of the Journal. Encouraged by the response to this we put together a more extensive selection of pictures from the collection so that a wider audience can enjoy this encounter with some of the mathematical giants of this century. The pictures derive from a variety of sources, but many of the most interesting were taken by Stella Weber P6lya at mathematical meetings in Europe in the 1920''s and 30''s and later in Palo Alto. She not only provided most of the photographs but maintained the col­ lection as well. To her is due most of the credit for the present effort.

Contemporary Sociological Theory - Doyle Paul Johnson - Bog - Springer-Verlag New York Inc. - Plusbog.dk

Contemporary Sociological Theory - Doyle Paul Johnson - Bog - Springer-Verlag New York Inc. - Plusbog.dk

This volume is designed as a basic text for upper level and graduate courses in contemporary sociological theory. Most sociology programs require their majors to take at least one course in sociological theory, sometimes two. A typical breakdown is between classical and contemporary theory. Theory is perhaps one of the bro- est areas of sociological inquiry and serves as a foundation or framework for more specialized study in specific substantive areas of the field. In addition, the study of sociological theory can readily be related to various aspects of other social science disciplines as well. From the very beginning sociology has been characterized by alternative theoretical perspectives. Classical theory includes the European founding figures of the dis- pline whose works were produced during the later half of the nineteenth century and the first couple of decades of the twentieth century plus early American th- rists. For most of the second half of the twentieth century, a fairly high consensus has developed among American sociologists regarding these major founders, p- ticularly with regard to the works of Durkheim and Weber in analyzing the overall society and of Simmel in analyzing social interaction processes. Since the late 1960s and early 1970s the influence of Marx has also been recognized. Recent decades have also witnessed an increased emphasis on the important contributions of several pioneering feminist perspectives in the early years of sociology.
