This text on sociology is one of a series of study guides for A-Levels and Scottish Higher Grade which are designed for use throughout the course as a supplement to studies at school or college, and as revision guides for the final approach to the exams.

Exam questions are included for each topic, and a "test run" section incorporates a progress test and a mock exam with answers.
