Description
This work provides a concise presentation of the sociological theory and research usually found in longer texts. It aims to present all the essentials of sociology, with illustrative examples, in a shorter form - thus avoiding wordy descriptive material. "Social policy" sections illustrate applications of sociological issues to modern life by linking concepts, theories and research to newspaper headlines. Contemporary and cross-cultural examples are used throughout the text to explain sociological theories and concepts. Highlights include: ethical controversies in sociological research; integrated coverage of issues affecting women; and over 240 references from 1991-3.
