Revue de presse

[The books in the Access to Sociology series] are less daunting to students than huge central textbooks ...many students feel a real sense of achievement after reading a whole sociology book, even if it is a short one. All these books are extremely useful and well-written... Each book has a useful opening section on study skills, and thoughtful study points and activities appear frequently to consolidate learning.
