"Modernity: An Introduction to Modern Societies "is a new sociology
textbook which provides a comprehensive and stimulating
introduction to the history, sociology and ideas of modern society.
It has been written for students and readers who have no prior
knowledge of sociology, and is designed to be used in a variety of
social science courses in universities and colleges.
The book is divided into three parts, corresponding to the
formation, consolidation and prospects of modernity. From the
start, four major social processes are identified: the social, the
cultural, the political, and the economic. These form the basis of
the four chapters in Part 1, and organize the narrative or
'story-line' of the rest of the text. In Part 2, they provide the
framework for an analyis of what developed industrial societies
look like and how they work. And in Part 3, they provide the basis
for identifying the emergent social forces and contradictory
processes which are radically re-shaping modern societies
today.
This is the widest-ranging introduction to the nature of modern
societies and will be invaluable to introductory and
post-introductory students of sociology.
