What is sociology? How did it develop? What are its key
contributions as a discipline? These are the likely questions of
any new student of the subject and it is these questions that are
at the heart of The Story of Sociology. The book is a unique
introduction to sociology. It takes the reader through the 'story'
of sociology: looking at how it developed, introducing its key
concerns and theories and assessing its relationship with other
disciplines. The books both introduces the subject and inspires the
reader to continue their study of the discpline. Written in an
engaging and lucid style by one of the leading figures in social
theory, the book is short and succinct yet detailed enough to
challenge the reader. It is the ideal companion to any introductory
sociology or social theory course.
