Book excerpt: Edited by a leading scholar of the Durkheimian School and its collective magnum opus L'Année Sociologique, these reviews and introductions are presented in this English edition the first time since they appeared in the periodical edited by Durkheim the master of a school in sociology. The experience of reviewing hundreds of books culminated in Durkheim's "Elementary Forms of Religious," the most inspired work by a protean mind. These reviews are part of Durkheim's contributions to the periodical in three self-sustaining volumes: sociology, anthropology (in preparation), and social morphology. Social Morphology drew its substance from geography, in particular, and demography as well.Durkheim had a broader conception of sociology that reached out to other areas of social sciences and the humanities to cultivate a new science and present a comprehensive picture of the discipline.
