Originally published in 1984 Applied Sociological Perspectives is an introductory guide to the major substantive topics in sociology, specifically designed to be used alongside a theory-centred text such as Perspectives in Sociology.
For many students with no previous experience of sociological thought or practice the relationship between theoretical debates and substantive areas is obscure. The authors of this title help students to understand this relationship and to appreciate the major issues and findings relevant to each topic. They deal with a wide range of popular and central teaching areas: sex and gender, social stratification, racial and ethnic relations, educational achievement, deviance, bureaucracy, work, urbanisation, power, theories of development.
The editors and authors have wide experience of teaching and writing for students of sociology and have deliberately written in a style that is accessible at an introductory level.
