Overview
The fourth edition of Sociology preserves and further enhances the book's qualities - its lucidity, and comprehensiveness. In its original edition, the book incorporated a treatment of cutting-edge areas of the subject, such as the impact of globalization. The 4th edition comes to terms with the impact of the internet and the new economy. An analysis of these developments is fed into many of the chapters. The 4th edition also includes a diversity of new chapters, sections and topics. There are new chapters, for example, on poverty and social exclusion and on ecological problems. As with previous editions, the book maintains a strongly comparative orientation, with materials drawn from variety of different societies and cultures across the world. More emphasis has been given to sociological theory than in previous editions.
