Over a million copies sold worldwide The indispensable guide to understanding the world we make and the lives we lead. This thoroughly revised and updated ninth edition remains unrivalled in its vibrant, engaging and authoritative introduction to sociology. The authors provide a commanding overview of the latest global developments and new ideas in this fascinating subject. Classic debates are also given careful coverage, with even the most complex ideas explained in a straightforward way. Written in a fluent, easy-to-follow style, the book manages to be intellectually rigorous but still very accessible. With a strong focus on interactive pedagogy, it aims to engage and excite readers, helping them to see the enduring value of thinking sociologically. The ninth edition includes: * a solid foundation in the basics of sociology: its purpose, methodology and theories; * up-to-the-minute overviews of key topics in social life, from gender, personal life and poverty, to globalization, the media and politics; * stimulating examples of what sociology has to say about key issues in our contemporary world, such as climate change, growing inequality and rising polarization in societies across the world; * a strong focus on global connections and the ways that digital technologies are radically transforming our lives; * quality pedagogical features, such as 'Classic Studies' and 'Global Society' boxes, and 'Thinking Critically' reflection points, as well as end-of-chapter activities inviting readers to engage with popular culture and original research articles to gather sociological insights. The ninth edition sets the standard for introductory sociology in a complex world. It is the ideal teaching text for first-year university and college courses, and will help to inspire a new generation of sociologists.

Where Knowledge Creates Wisdom
Format: Paperback
A must-read for anyone seeking the title of King/Queen of Minutae. Weather predictions are typically, freakishly spot-on. There is simply a wealth of information in here that you are better off knowing, or will at least make you popular on trivia night. There are some quality vendors that you don't see online advertising in here too. The only drawbacks are the snowfall total in Florida challenging Central Oregon this winter, and the increase in price over last year. Tariffs on paper?

Good quality book.
Format: Paperback
Bought these because I bought one for my grandmother every year for Christmas. It is good quality, but I have only opened it one time. I got it for sentimental reasons.

Outstanding Book
Format: Paperback
Great book, a classic that seems more timely now than ever! First read Dr Akbar’s book years ago and bought this updated edition to replace the copy someone borrowed & never returned (another sign of a good book when they don’t get returned). So glad to have this new copy to revisit the deep wisdom and insights Dr Akbar lays out. He explains the painful & persistent psychological & sociological chains of slavery clearly and irrefutably. This book is a must read for anyone who wants to better understand why it’s so hard to heal the terrible wounds of slavery — even today, even generations past physical shackles....
