Biography
Jonathan H. Turner is Distinguished Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Riverside.
"Turner outlines an impressive, elaborate theory encompassing all of social reality, with emotions taking a central role throughout...Turner has thrown down the gauntlet, giving sociologists a clearly outlined, well-stated theory that generates myriad testable hypotheses."
-- Contemporary Sociology, Vol. 38 No.2
