Designed specifically for AS-level sociology courses Comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of the AQA specification Includes activities designed to develop the knowledge, skills and understanding of students Chapters end with an exam question from AQA past papers, and suggestions for coursework Chapter summaries outline the key points to help students check their understanding Key terms are highlighted in the text and explained in an excellent glossary Cartoons, tables, figures and photographs enliven and reinforce the text. This new introductory textbook assumes no previous knowledge of sociology. It is intended for all those studying AS-level courses, and adopts a readable, accessible and student-friendly style. Introducing Sociology: for AS level provides clear and concise but thorough and comprehensive coverage of the key areas of sociology covered at AS-level. It includes chapters on the family, health, the mass media, education, wealth, welfare and poverty, work and leisure and sociological methods. The author's previous book, An Introduction to Sociology, rapidly established itself as one of the leading textbooks for GCSE Sociology, and was described by the AQA Chief Examiner as 'setting the standard for textbooks at this level'. This new book will prove indispensable to all those studying AS-level sociology, as well as those on Access, Health and Social Care, and vocational courses of all kinds which contain a sociological component. Ken Browne is a Lecturer in Sociology at North Warwickshire and Hinckley College.
