| Reviews of the third
edition: |
'I am impressed with the range, scale and scope of this volume. As
always it contains a range of very good material where data are presented clearly and
elegantly and illustrated with material drawn from a range of sociological studies.' - Professor
Robert Burgess, University of Warwick |
|
'The bravest and most successful attempt yet
to bring what is happening in academic sociology to the A-level market.'
Tony Breslin, Times Educational Supplement
'Bilton's team of authors has grown to six since the second edition and the book has
also expanded in length, but the work has lost none of its topicality, sound scholarship
and breadth of coverage. In addition, it comes this time with an instructor's pack, which
ought to be purchased by anyone interested in using it on courses, since the exercises and
overheads will make class preparation much easier... Introductory Sociology can be
warmly recommended for A-level and university students...' - Times Higher Education

'The scope of the book is impressive. It...does not shy away from addressing important
contemporary issues and perspectives...the most up-to-date, lively and comprehensive
introductory text I've seen.'
Peter Langley
'It is fresh in its approach and stands out from the other A-Level standard texts in
its attempt to provide a theoretical context which is contemporary in feel.'
Tony Lawson, former Chief Examiner, AEB A-level Sociology
