Now in its eighth edition, this continues to be the indispensable
guide to understanding the world we make and the lives we lead.
Revised and updated throughout, it remains unrivalled in its
vibrant, engaging and authoritative introduction to sociology. The
authors provide a commanding overview of recent global developments
and new ideas in sociology. Classic debates are also given careful
coverage, with even the most complex ideas explained in an engaging
way. Written in a fluent, easy-to-follow style, the book manages to
be intellectually rigorous but still very accessible. With a strong
focus on interactive pedagogy, it aims to engage and excite
readers, helping them to see the enduring value of thinking
sociologically. The eighth edition includes: a solid foundation in
the basics of sociology: its purpose, methodology and theories;
up-to-the-minute overviews of key topics in social life, from
gender, personal life and poverty, to globalization, the media and
politics; stimulating examples of what sociology has to say about
key issues in our contemporary world, such as growing inequality,
climate change and the rise of terrorism; a strong focus on global
sociology and the ways that digital technologies are radically
transforming our world; quality pedagogical features, such as
'Classic Studies' and 'Global Society' boxes, and 'Thinking
Critically' reflection points, as well as end-of-chapter activities
inviting readers to engage with popular culture and original
research articles to gather sociological insights. The eighth
edition sets the standard for introductory sociology. Complete with
extensive supporting resources at www.politybooks.com/giddens , it
is the ideal teaching text for first-year university and college
courses, and will help to inspire a new generation of sociologists.
