Reviews
"Contemporary and well balanced in meeting the demands of the reader and the specification. Once again the authors have demonstrated how a textbook can be focused whilst still maintaining a breadth and depth of knowledge that allows students to go beyond A level. The definitions, examples and activities are an excellent resource for teachers and students alike."
David Morton, King Edward VI College, BSA Teaching Group Convenor and A level examiner
"Sociological resources that capture the imagination and ignite the minds of young people are few and far between. But this book does both brilliantly. With great features, truly accessible text and exemplary exam advice and guidance, this text will make it onto the shelves of all outstanding A level sociology departments."
Gerry Czerniawski, University of East London, A level examiner and National Teaching Fellow
