Top 100 Sociology Books of the Century

The International Sociological Association (ISA) has listed the top 100 Sociology books of the last century. The Albertsons Library has 89% of these titles in our collection. Purchase requests have been made for the remaining titles.

The Top 5 Sociology Books of the Century according to the ISA are:

1 Weber, Max: Economy and Society
2 Mills, Charles Wright: The Sociological Imagination
3 Merton, Robert K. : Social Theory and Social Structure
4 Weber, Max: The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism
5 Berger, P.L. and Luckmann, T. : The Social Construction of Reality

If your Top 5 books differ or you do not see a book listed on the ISA TOP 100 that you think should be, please let me know so I can possibly add it to the Albertsons Library collection.
