With intriguing examples, clear definitions of essential jargon and stimulating theoretical explanation, the book focuses on the most important issues and ideas that inform sociology. The new edition:- Expands the international range of examples and voices represented- Draws on expertise of leading academic contributors from across seven countries- Includes even more coverage of hot topics in new chapters on globalization and the environment- Uses a clear structure throughout each chapter to ease the reading experience - Aids understanding and learning with new features, including discussion points, annotated suggestions for further reading, an expanded glossary, and enhanced web support at http://www.palgrave.com/sociology/matthewman2eThis is the resource all students new to the subject need in order to start their sociological journey with understanding, knowledge, imagination and confidence.
