More About the Author
Product Description
Review
“Very user-friendly and immediately appealing with an excellent extract and questions section.”
Margaret P. Bateson, Head of Sociology at King Edward VI Grammar School
“It’s a book I can rely on…I especially like the annotated worked examples which can be used as a teaching aid.”
Steve Walker, Head of Socioogy at Willenhall Comprehensive
“If the content has changed little, what is the incentive to buy this revised edition? The answer lies not so much in the change to the main text, but the changes in style that make it a much more interactive and interesting text… I particularly liked the ‘Focus on Research’ boxes which outline a relevant piece pf recent research related to that sub-section.”
Social Science Teacher

Format:Paperback
As Head of Department at a very successful sixth form college, I buy in over 150 copies of this every year for my AS students. It is simply the best text book available for students studying towards an exam in AS Sociology. It is tightly focussed on the AQA syllabus and well organised into chapters that mirror the modules students will learn as part of their course.
Each chapter contains sufficient information to get any student a decent grade if they learn everything in the relevant chapters thoroughly, although more able students might wish the book went into more depth in certain areas. If you are one of these, then buy this and supplement with text books recommended by your teacher.
The book is very clearly written for a 16-19 audience and also contains research, examples and suggestions for activities and research that are much more up to date than any other text book on the market.
There are practice exam questions at the end of each chapter section.
The book is not suitable for someone wanting a general introduction to sociology, or for someone looking for a general interest read. For this try Thinking Sociologically by Bauman or the degree level intro. texts by either Giddens or Fulcher and Scott.
If you are an A level student, buy this!

This book is really useful for those who are doing the course. I'd recommend it to anyone who is doing AS level Sociology.
