What a great way to summarize some of the best social thinkers in history. I have it at my fingertips for when I need to make sure a point I'm making is grounded in intellectual thought. It's some great reading, too. I find the app to be easy to read too. Not difficult with the black background. Easy read in the dark before retiring to sleep...

This is probably one of the great app on theorist but adding more theorist could make it one of the best. Add some indian thinkers as well as it would be more beneficial to the readers. REGARDS

the contents are interesting, but it's difficult to read with background in black against the font in white. if it were viceversa it would have been more helpful for reading.

It has a very good summary of the work of sociologist. The information is clear and easy to understand. Well done! It is a very good thing to describe the background of each of the sociologist.(when they were born etc..) It teaches us more about the sociologist,.not just what they said. Very enriching!!!
