Product Information

Stephen Moore is a well-known textbook author and has contributed to previous editions of Sociology Themes and Perspectives. I am a student social worker and I am finding this book very helpful as it is clearly written, up-to-date and explains theories and concepts in straightforward language. Michael Haralambos wrote the first two editions of Sociology Themes and Perspectives and contributed to later editions. Because the subjects it examines are so numerous and so varied, sociology cannot be defined simply in terms of the subjects it studies. New topics covered in this sociology book include globalisation, the Arab Spring, the possible decline of US power, UK Coalition policies, environmental sociology, new media, the financial crash and recession, network society, crime and deviance sociology, victimology – and many more!

Martin Holborn is the main author of the previous five editions of Sociology Themes and Perspectives and a range of other sociology textbooks. Increasingly influential concepts and approaches such as postmodernism, the sociology of modernity and globalization are integrated into existing chapters as well. Sociology Themes and Perspectives is the number one bestselling introduction to sociology for A-level and undergraduate students.

Secondly, I assumed from the description that globalisation would get a chapter to itself (as is the case in Giddens' Sociology and Bilton et al's Introductory Sociology), however it was tacked onto the final chapter.
