''As with previous editions Browne et al have provided a comprehensive, contemporary and focussed A2 textbook which directly applies to the AQA specification. Via attention to the demands of the specification and reference to exam style questions the book is thoroughly usable and gives the reader clarity of purpose concerning the material. A balance is achieved between classic Sociology and up to date material, giving students the opportunity to recognise the relevance and importance of sociological investigations in today's society.''David Morton, King Edward VI College, Stourbridge and examiner for AQA''This is an magnificent text. It won&'t just be another text on A2 Sociology for students but will serve as the leader in the area. It has key concepts but with inspirational examples. It&'s the best textbook I have ever read for AQA A2 for Sociology.''Jason L. Powell, Coventry University''This is an outstanding addition to the range of resources now available to sociology students. Ken Brown and his colleagues represent the very best in sociology teaching and this text, now in its long-awaited second edition, should be on the shelves of all aspiring sociology students and their teachers.''Dr Gerry Czerniawski, University of East London, A-level examiner and National Teaching Fellow
