Separate chapters explore the major areas of modern life in
Britain - economic organization, employment, patterns of
inequality, class, gender, ethnicity, family and households,
education, health, media, deviance and politics. New to this
edition are chapters on globalization, associations, and
leisure.
The emphasis throughout the book is on an accessible,
user-friendly, and non-technical approach. It is written in a
jargon-free and approachable style; there is extensive
cross-referencing and frequent and clear summarizing of arguments;
and numerous photographs, diagrams, graphs, drawings and cartoons
complement and illuminate the text.
Contemporary British Society is written for students of
introductory sociology whether they are taking 'A' level or are in
the first year of an undergraduate course in a higher education
institution. It will also be useful for those taking courses in
other subjects, such as social policy, health and town planning,
which demand knowledge of particular aspects of British
society.
