Roland Robertson, one of the worldâs leading global sociologists, is largely responsible for the development of global studies, as well as cosmic studies. His particular specialities are religion, culture, and theory.
John Simpson contributed to the theoretical and comparative analysis of the resurgence of religion and ethno-nationalism on a global scale following the Iranian Revolution and the transformation of the Soviet Union in the late twentieth century.
<p>"Edward Tiryakian is a searching, iconoclastic theorist and empirical interpreter of modernity. He never loses sight of meaning, and his sensitivity to the sacred is profound. The contributions to this Festschrift do honor to a long and extraordinarily creative intellectual career." </p>

<p>"Robertson and Simpson's masterful collection of essays in honor of the eminent sociologist Edward Tiryakian manages to paint a biographically fascinating and intellectually rich portrait of one of the earliest advocates of a truly global and transnational sociology. This book does full justice to the enormous topical range of Tiryakian's academic contributions."</p>
