This textbook introduces students to all the key concepts and themes necessary to an understanding of sociology and sociological research. The book is keyed to courses at "A" level, BTEC, polytechnic and university level, and aims to provide an informed and accessible guide for students either approaching the subject for the first time, or with some basic knowledge of sociological terms. The text is illustrated throughout by tables, figures, illustrations and summary boxes. Topics covered include historical and theoretical background; research methods; social stratification; gender and race; power and politics; work and organizations; urbanization and development; family; education and belief systems; culture and communications; social control; and social policy and the future of "society".
