This paper provides an overview of the articles presented in this issue of "Sociological Inquiry." The author has put Don Levine's essay on Max Weber first in this issue because it is much more balanced account of Max Weber's views on the modern world than a person ordinarily receives in secondary sources. Geoffrey Cooke's article is only an indication of theoretical and empirical possibilities. Another theoretical giant touched upon in this issue is Emile Durkheim. Emile's early views on women were strongly colored by the unconscious prejudices of his day. Dean Gerstein's lighthearted but quite serious comment is a reminder that although Durkheim wrote with his contemporaries in mind, he was also, more importantly, engaged in communicating tentative contributions to the scientific community extending into the indefinite future. In an inner page, there is an announcement from Marvin E. Wolfgang and Neil A. Weiner, University of Pennsylvania, Center for Studies in Criminology and Criminal Law, to which the author wish to direct readers's attention.
