Highly rated, best text for A level sociology.
Best sociology text book ever. I studied this when did my applied social science degree, and found it highly relevant to my career. My daughter is now studying A level sociology, and this was bought specially to assist in her studies, as the teaching she was receiving left something to be desired. This book will get her an A grade in sociology if she reads it thoroughly. Really glad its updated and still available. If doing Sociology buy it, highly rated.

Excellent reference book
This is an excellent reference book for students of sociology and social work. I am a student social worker and I am finding this book very helpful as it is clearly written, up-to-date and explains theories and concepts in straightforward language. It is well worth the money and unlike other works of this kind I find it an interesting read, and not at all 'dry'.
