′Teachers and students have repeatedly told me that this is indeed an ideal introductory text for all those in schools, colleges and evening classes who are just beginning to ask about the nature of the subject ... everyone will welcome the updated statistics (many of which are derived from primary sources rather than already outdated publications), the section on the death of Diana, and an analysis of the 1997 General Election ... most valuable additions to the text are the two brand new chapters on Health and Illness and Ethnicity and Race.′ Laurie Taylor
′This is a very useful text for teachers and students of GCSE Sociology. With its new chapters on health and ethnicity it builds on the strengths of the first edition. It is clear and up to date, and doesn′t patronize. Ken Browne has established the standard for textbooks at this level.′ Dave Longmate, Chief Examiner, GCSE Sociology, Southern Examining Group
′This lively book with many stimulating ideas for project work encourages student participation throughout. The summary given at the end of each chapter provides a useful guide to learning outcomes. In the area of Health and Social Care the new chapter on Health and Illness is especially welcomed. This second edition is an excellent contribution to GNVQ and other Vocational courses.′ Sylvia Drage, Lecturer, HE Examiner and External Verifier, Health and Social Care
′No sociology student should be without this text.′ Education Review
This new edition continues to provide full coverage of all the key areas covered by the GCSE examining boards; it has also been broadened to take account of GNVQ courses in health and social care. The wide–ranging new material includes chapters on health and illness and ethnicity; and an extended discussion of the welfare state and poverty.
Throughout the text there are suggested activities to develop the skills and understanding of the student, along with coursework ideas. Each chapter opens with a list of the central issues, key terms are highlighted in the text and explained in an excellent glossary, and chapter summaries outline the important points that should have been learnt after reading the chapters. Throughout, carefully chosen cartoons, tables, figures, and photographs enliven and reinforce the text.
The new edition of this up–to–date, comprehensive and lively text will prove invaluable to all those studying sociology for the first time.
