Review Quotes:
"In this book based on the posthumous publication of lecture notes transcribed by his students, George Herbert Mead is seen as the philosophical precursor to symbolic interactionism, which is generally depicted as a version of microsociological theory... Scholars should thank Deegan for making this collection available... Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, faculty."
