This accessible text explores the rise in inequality in recent years. It includes empirical material on all the key dimensions of inequality (including class, gender, ethnicity, age and disability), and considers both classical and new theoretical approaches to the study of these dimensions of social stratification and difference. The exercises and overall active learning approach offer students scope to exercise and develop their sociological skills.

Book Overview: 'I particularly like the coursework suggestions, as this is a popular subject for students' own research, and there are a wide range of activities involving analysis of newspapers, magazines and television, and monitoring the availability of cultural commodities. These, together with the frequent references to familiar media material, create a relevant and interactive package...I would strongly recommend purchasing a class set.' - Jill Swale, Social Science Teacher
