The Social Lens: An Invitation to Social and Sociological Theory, Second Edition, is an undergraduate social theory textbook organized around the issues of modernity and the influences of Talcott Parsons and the Frankfurt school.

Chosen for the diversity of their perspectives and their suitability for introducing students to contemporary theory, a wide variety of theorists materialize in the text, with their individual voices vividly intact. The extensive use of relevant quotes throughout the book demonstrates the power and poetry of theory to students exploring this area for the first time.
