Essentials of Sociology
Giddens (London School of Economics) offers a brief edition of the fifth edition of his Introduction to Sociology. The length of the text has been reduced by about one-third, with 16 chapters rather than 20. Major themes are public sociology, globalizing of social life, the importance of comparative study, issues of gender, and the micro-macro link. Rather than abstract discussion of basic sociological concepts, concepts are explained when they are introduced and illustrated with concrete examples from sociological research and other sources. Study aids include objectives, concept-review questions, and data exercises. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
