What is sociology? How did it develop? What are its key contributions as a discipline? These are the likely questions of any new student of the subject and it is these questions that are at the heart of The Story of Sociology. The book is a unique introduction to sociology. It takes the reader through the 'story' of sociology: looking at how it developed, introducing its key concerns and theories and assessing its relationship with other disciplines. The books both introduces the subject and inspires the reader to continue their study of the discpline. Written in an engaging and lucid style by one of the leading figures in social theory, the book is short and succinct yet detailed enough to challenge the reader. It is the ideal companion to any introductory sociology or social theory course.

Recensioner i media

This is a superb short introduction to sociological theory. It captures the dilemmas of sociological argument as well as its different traditions and sensibilities. It is concise without being shallow and will be a true companion on a student's journey through his or her studies. It provides an excellent overview for the start of the journey but, like any good guide book, it will repay consultation while on the journey.
