Over the book's 12 chapters, students discover what sociology is, alongside its historical development and emergent new concerns. They will be led through the theories that underpin the discipline and familiarized with what it takes to undertake good sociological research. Ultimately students will be led and inspired to develop their own sociological imagination - learning to question their own assumptions about the society, the culture and the world around them today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHistorically, the majority of introductory sociology textbooks have run to many hundreds of pages, discouraging students from further reading.
