"If you've ever wanted to know something about suicide, chances are it's in this book. The extent of that is ridiculous, this will even go as far as to log the day of the week that men will usually commit suicide.
This covers every mental facet and historical statistic related to suicides that he could gather at the time, reinforcing his position as one of the founding fathers of sociology."
"Not an easy read. The whole book could easily be summed up in about 20 pages, but it really is such an important work in sociology that you have to at least appreciate the genius of Durkheim's ideas."
"This book provided the foundation for sociology as a separate discipline. Durkheim took a phenomenon that seems on the surface completely psychological -- suicide -- and approached it by studying broader social trends at the group level. The patterns he identified were remarkable. Social science FTW!"
