Description

Sociology An Introduction by Ken Roberts and Kenneth Roberts provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject, covering its development from origins to the present day. This book explains sociology's main research methods and theories in clear terms, making it an ideal resource for students new to the field. The core of sociology lies in understanding major societal transformations, such as industrialisation, urbanisation, and democratisation, as well as social divisions like class, gender, and race. The authors explore how these factors shape change-makers and the impact of transformations on different social positions. This book also delves into ongoing debates within sociology, including the role of its methods in research and their relationship to theory. By addressing questions that are not typically posed elsewhere, Sociology An Introduction offers a unique perspective that challenges everyday common sense and the views presented by politicians and the media. With its succinct and comprehensive approach, this book welcomes students while also challenging them to think critically about the subject.
