Publisher's Synopsis
The new full-colour edition of this popular textbook has been updated to match the revised AQA exam specification, providing a fresh, interactive approach that is both visually appealing and accessible to all students. Written by a team of enthusiastic and experienced authors and senior examiners.
The book is divided into eight units:
- An introduction to sociology
- Families and households
- Health
- The mass media
- Education
- Wealth, welfare and poverty
- Research methods
- Preparing for the AS exam
Each unit is divided into a number of topics, organised in a consistent and easy-to-follow format. Each topic contains text to develop knowledge, but also equal amounts of activities and suggestions for research to develop the subject-specific and 'key' skills needed.
