This will be an important resource to anyone interested in Max Weber's work for years to come."—Mustafa Emirbayer, University of Wisconsin, Madison "The Weber dictionary will be an indispensable source of reference for social scientists. It will contribute to a much better grasp of Weber's extensive writings."—Sam Whimster, editor of the Journal for Max Weber Studies "This is an expert work of scholarship on the most complex and difficult of the great classic sociologists.
