Summary

This exciting new text by James Fulcher and John Scott offers a lively and comprehensive approach to sociology, covering all the topics included on sociology courses. It is completely up-to-date. It discusses many contemporary social issues, including such topics as family violence, genderidentities, social inequalities and divisions, the internet, the influence of the media, the rise of new religions, post-modernism, and the impact of globalization. The analysis of recent social change is carefully integrated with discussion of the classic ideas of sociology.
