Urban Patterns
This volume is a thoroughly revised edition of the book Studies in Human Ecology, which had become the standard text and reference in the field. Twenty-four of the original articles have been retained, and thirty-two new articles (many of them written especially for this volume) have been added. Defining and surveying the ecological approach to the study of human society, this anthology is both a theoretical and an applied work and should be of value not only to scholars and students interested in developing ecological principals, but also to those concerned with applying these principles in research. Part I contains articles by leading sociologists and geographers tracing the history of the field from its beginning in 1921 and reconciling conflicting current conceptions. Part II presents social ecology as a framework for studying the city with respect to ethnicity, neighborhood organization, mental illness, and commuting patterns. Part III offers comparative studies from Latin America, Europe, and Asia. An introduction by the editor provides a critical overview to each part.

Theory and Methodology of Semiotics
The book is an in-depth presentation of the European branch of semiotic theory, originating in the work of Ferdinand de Saussure. It has four parts: a historical introduction, the analysis of langue, narrative theory and communication theory. Part I briefly presents all the semiotic schools and their main points of reference. Although this material is accessible in many other Anglophone publications, the presentation is marked by specific choices aiming to display similarities and differences. The analysis of langue in Part II is also available in Anglophone bibliography, but the book presents Saussurean theory according to a new theoretical rationale and enriched with later developments.

Modern Reconstruction of Classical Thought: Talcott Parsons
In this volume the author maintains that sociology must learn to combine the insights of both Durkheim and Marx and that it can only do so on the presuppositional ground that Weber set forth. Alexander maintains that the idealist and materialist traditions must be transformed into analytic dimensions of multidimensional and synthetic theory. This volume focusses on the writing of Talcott Parsons, the only modern thinker who can be considered a true peer of the classical founders, and examines his own profoundly ambivalent attempt to carry out this analytic transformation.
