Over a million copies sold worldwide The indispensable guide to
understanding the world we make and the lives we lead. This
thoroughly revised and updated ninth edition remains unrivalled in
its vibrant, engaging and authoritative introduction to sociology.
The authors provide a commanding overview of the latest global
developments and new ideas in this fascinating subject. Classic
debates are also given careful coverage, with even the most complex

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
ninth 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 climate change, growing inequality and
rising polarization in societies across the world; a strong focus
on global connections and the ways that digital technologies are
radically transforming our lives; 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 ninth
edition sets the standard for introductory sociology in a complex
world. It is the ideal teaching text for first-year university and
college courses, and will help to inspire a new generation of
sociologists.
