Library

Overview

The chapters specifically devoted to theory discuss classical figures but include treatment of recent authors such as Ulrich Beck, Manuel Castells as well as Anthony Giddens' own contribution to sociological theory. The book will be accompanied by a companion website, which will provide online support for users of "Sociology", both lecturers and students. From the site, lecturers will be able to download an instructor's manual and a variety of invaluable teaching aids, including powerpoint slides featuring maps, graphs and figures from the text and sets of sample essay questions and multiple choice questions for lecturer customization. Students will find chapter by chapter web links to important internet resources, on-line quizzes and competitions and a whole range of other learning facilities.
