About this title

Synopsis

Addressing such questions as What is sociology? and How does one "do" sociology?, this beginner's guide offers a cogent sketch of the sociologist's worldview. Using contemporary examples, this introduction discusses the methods sociologists use and examines the reciprocal relationship sociology has with society—its prime subject. Containing chapters on sociology's place in the academy, the "sociological imagination," and the nexus of sociology and biology, this new edition includes added material on terrorism, globalisation, identity, and the Internet, making it essential preliminary reading for new students of sociology.
