This edited volume highlights the work of ten forgotten and neglected social theorists in the hope of reinvigorating interest in their work and their potential contributions to the analysis of contemporary social issues. Each chapter includes a brief biographical sketch, an overview of the selected theorist’s work and significance, and the relevance of their work to one or more contemporary social issues. While other similar texts tend to focus primarily on intellectual biography, our emphasis here is on the scholar’s theories and their application to contemporary social issues. We provide a contextualization of each scholar’s work, using present-day social issues or problems. Many of these individuals played a significant role in the development of sociology. Our hope is to provide a resource that will help re-integrate these marginalized social theorists, rescuing them from obscurity and elevating their status.

Some of Birmingham Alabama's history has been lost. This book takes a look at this lost history and brings it back to life. Birmingham has many notable historic landmarks today, but so many more are all but forgotten. The Bangor Cave Casino was once a world-renowned speakeasy. The Thomas Jefferson Hotel featured a zeppelin mooring station, drawing lots of attention from tourists. Other significant sites from the past, such as Hillman Hospital and the buildings on the "Heaviest Corner on Earth," are unknown even to natives now. Local author Beverly Crider presents an intriguing and educational tour through these and more hidden treasures.

Excerpt from Memorials of Old Birmingham: Men and Names, Founders, Freeholders, and Indwellers, From the Thirteenth to the Sixteenth Century; With Particulars as to the Earliest Church of the Reformation Built and Endowed in England The science of to-day is founded on the science of yester day, and that of yesterday rests on earlier steps, each trodden in its day. And the science of to-day cannot be truly under stood except by tracing those earlier steps. Only the char latan pretends to a sudden revelation of new science. And it is the same with human society, in the complex forms of it that come before the eye in such an abode of activity as Birmingham. Peoples and towns have grown to what they are from what they have been they owe to the temper and spirit and energy, or the lack of these, moving the indwellers who have gone before them, the opportunity, or the lack of opportunity, that there now is, to show the temper and spirit and energy that live within themselves. There has been a past there has been a growth; there is yet more growth, or else decay, to come. What manner of men they were who lived in that past, what their habits were, and what were the institutions that they grew up among and took their part in, it concerns all to know who would hope that the to come shall be one of growth and not one of decay. He who would speak shame-facedly of his own town, or would seek to disavow what he and his fathers have owed to it, as a Place having a Pedigree, shows the absence of that moral sense and that tone of mind from which alone patriotism springs.

Excerpt from The Lloyds of Birmingham: With Some Account of the Founding of Lloyds Bank Resorting to imagery, one might liken the biographer of an individual to the navigator of a river from its source to the sea, always in the main stream and the' biographer of a family to a similar navigator with an extended charter, who even before embarking spends much time among the springs in the mountains whence the river flows, and, once afloat, urges his boat down every tributary, however small, and into every back water.
