Reviews
· Excellent questioning and prompts for discussion with case studies to illustrate how to think sociologically. This will help both teachers and their students to generate high quality classroom conversations. · Detailed discussion of sociological theory, and I like the way each theory is applied to a specific issue to show students the application of theoretical and conceptual differences. · The discussion of the construction of gender is very good and this can be well linked to English Language courses, for example. Dr Simon Henderson, Head of History and Sixth Form, Teeside School and Sixth Form This book is fantastic. It's the perfect introduction to sociology. It carefully breaks down the elements of sociology and why they are important, whilst dispelling the rumours that sociology is common sense. The complexity of sociology can sometimes be taken for granted and this book acknowledges the significance of the discipline. Chapter 2 can easily be used as assigned or wider reading for students before they study sociological theories; it allows students to access and understand fundamental sociological knowledge that can often be misunderstood in the classroom. I would highly recommend this book to my students and believe it should be a staple within a social science classroom. Annalisea Whyte, Sociology teacher

- r***g (242)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook was "nearly new" and "as described" in listing. The advertised price was fair and a good value. Unfortunately, the seller's shipping partner was very slow to get the book packaged and shipped. Shipping took too long, and the tracking info gave no reliable info on shipping date, time in transit or expected delivery. Seller did everything right, but their shipping partner needs improvement. I recommend this seller to other eBay buyers....... just make sure you're okay with the shipping terms.
- e***u (283)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.
- e***n (392)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseGreat transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive.
