Abstract

Elaborated by a group of authors, within the Research Institute for the Quality of Life, from Bucharest, of the Romanian Academy, the volume, coordinated by academician Cătălin Zamfir and 1st degree researcher Iancu Filipescu, represents the result of ample investigations, on the sociological activity and production from our country – published along approximately 110 years. Besides the two already mentioned coordinators, Professor Elena Zamfir, PhD, whose contribution to the organisation and institutionalisation of social assistance in Romania is well-known, participated along with three other younger researchers: Simona Ilie, Simona Maria Stănescu and Maria Iordache. The work distinguishes itself through its simultaneous analytical and synthetic character, through the richness and diversity of information that it includes, together with the importance of the formulated opinions – exposed along 300 pages. Essentially, the book belongs to the group of some anterior preoccupations on addressing the research of the Romanian sociology history, and it is accompanied by a CD that includes 5 annexes, referring to: personalities of sociologists from the first half of the 20th century; the list of the Romanian sociology history; the sociology magazines issued after 1990; the books and the studies published along the time, in our country.
