Dr. Turner's work

I am a student at Virginia Tech, where Dr. Turner teaches a sociology course. His course is one of the best I have taken. He really knows his subject matter. His book is great! Anyone interested in any part of sociology will love it.

A guide to the Twenty-First Century

THE FIRE AND THE ROSE is the best synthesis of sociology, psychology, and spirituality to appear since the sixties. Turner is a brilliant, compassionate, and transformative writer. His book communicates on many levels and it offers essential instruction for beginners as well as for the most sophisticated readers. Anyone trying to understand the problems facing humanity in the Twenty-First Century will find powerful insights and helpful perspectives in this indispensable volume. (Maurice R. Stein, Jacob S.
