The revised edition of this first-year undergraduate text offers students an introduction to sociology and to the ways in which sociologists are trained to think and work. The revised edition features: a new chapter on critical theory reflecting the extensive work and thinking that Marx's basic work continues to stimulate; and a chapter on research strategies taking account of the new developments in the philosophy of science that are relevant for sociological approaches.
