An introduction to sociology

This new and fully revised edition maintains the comprehensive coverage and readable style that made the first edition popular. It provides full coverage of all the key areas covered by the GCSE examining boards in the UK and also has been broadened to consider GNVQ courses in health and social care. The wide-ranging new material includes chapters on health, illness, ethnicity, and an extended discussion of the welfare state. 26 photos.

First sentence: Newcomers to sociology often have only a vague idea as to what the subject is about, though they frequently have an interest in people.
