Sociological Lives and Ideas is a great book for those who want to understand the Classic Theorists of Sociology. This book goes a long way to explain the way the impact of the Theorist's individual life and experiences helped in forming Social Theory. I found it fascinating to learn of the detailed lives of Weber, Simmel, Durkheim, Marx, and Dubois.

Despite their role in founding and defining the discipline of sociology, the field's classical theorists typically receive only cursory attention in standard introductory texts. Written specifically for undergraduate students, this supplemental text, Fred Pampel's Sociological Lives and Ideas brings to life the fundamental ideas of Karl Marx, Emile Durkheim, Max Weber, Georg Simmel, George H. Mead, and W.E.B. DuBois by placing them in the context of each theorists' biography. By exploring the lives and times of these key figures, students will gain a richer understanding of their intellectual legacies, as well as of the ways in which their work can be applied to current issues.

This product is really useful in the course of sociology. It is an extremely dense book of theorists but definitely worth the time to read.
