Product Description
John Horne, Network, Jan. 2000
"The "guide" claims that it is a 'different textbook for a different world' but it would be more accurate to state that it is the most up-to-date textbook currently available... a refreshing textbook made visually attractive by clearly highlighted boxes and figures, cross-references and hints, key concepts, summaries and exercises."
Product Description
This text offers a comprehensive approach to sociology, covering all the topics included on sociology courses. It discusses many social issues, including such topics as family violence, gender identities, social inequalities and divisions, the internet, the influence of the media, the rise of new religions, post-modernism, and the impact of globalization. The analysis of recent social change is carefully integrated with discussion of the classic ideas of sociology.

Format:Paperback
This is probably the best and most comprehensive intro Sociology textbook available for students. I really like the style of the cover and the layout of the book. The web-site is a real help for young lecturers too. I can't think of anything that has been left out and the coverage is always clear and easy to understand for my students. The last edition was patchy, but good. This one is close to exemplary.

Format:Paperback
This book proved to be very helpful when studying a sociology and criminology degree. There is information covering a wide range of topics, and because of the layout of the book, its easier to understand. I would recommend this book to any student studying a sociology degree as its very helpful.

comprehensive and easy to follow with a lot of subjects. If you are a first year student and totally new to sociology, this book is a good add-on to explain subjects in detail
