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.
