The ideal follow-on from "Sociology for AS-level", this textbook has been written by practising teachers and examiners with the specific needs of A2 students in mind. The book is divided into seven units: religion; power, politics and protest; social policy and welfare; world sociology; theory and methods; crime and deviance; stratification and social differences; and preparing for A2 assessment. Each unit is divided into a number of topics, organised in a consistent and easy-to-follow format. Each topic contains text to develop knowledge, but also a variety of interactive features, including activities to prepare students for synoptic assessment and help them apply theory.
