Więcej o książce

A thoroughly revised new edition of this popular introductory textbook. Sociology offers a way of understanding our lives, from individual experience to public affairs. By showing how different parts of society connect, Sociology explains how much of our lives are affected by social relationships. This widely-used textbook introduces the major figures in sociological thought and examines key aspects of society. Through real examples, the authors show how to develop a critical approach to social issues. This second edition has been thoroughly revised and updated, and includes new chapters on race and ethnicity, health, the body, media and popular culture, gender, class and inequality, religion, globalisation, and Parsons and structural functionalism.
