Sociology: A Global Introduction is the most complete learning resource for introductory sociology students across Europe.

Written in a lively and engaging way, the new edition of this popular text will engage, excite and challenge students - encouraging them to understand core topics, critique existing arguments, move to the cutting edge and read further around the subject.

With a firm focus on UK/European society, issues are discussed in greater detail than in existing textbooks. Of particular significance is the book’s global perspective, looking at traditional, modern and postmodern society in a wider multicultural environment.
