Sociology is the intellectual discipline that seeks to provide
answers to those questions by the deployment of argument and
evidence. In doing so it will often question basic assumptions that
we all make about our social world and therefore has the capacity
to upset settled or conventional opinions. This book is an
invitation to engage in this endeavour.
- concise, accessible introduction to a key discipline in the
social sciences;
- written by an experienced author who is widely respected for
his broad and deep understanding of the subject and his ability to
write in a clear and compelling way;
- provides argument and evidence about key sociological questions
which will be of help to students approaching the subject for the
first time;
- this is the third book in the Polity Short Introductions series (following Bob Connell's Gender and Stephanise Lawson's International Relations).
