Media Reviews
Ken Browne's Sociology for AQA A/S level textbook is exceptionally well packaged and very thorough. The great strength of this book lies in its ability to simplify complex sociological concepts and bring them to life by using key examples from contemporary social life. I strongly recommend this book as a must read for A/S Level students. It is the best in its field. Jason L. Powell, University of Liverpool Ken Browne's lively book covers all units of the new AQA syllabus. The chapters are well structured and provide sufficient detail for students to score top marks. The text is clear and accessible and close to students' experiences and perceptions. Concepts are clearly explained and the 'key terms' and glossary are very useful. Overall it is a very good book. Bill McDonnell, Northampton School for Girls This latest edition contains all the magical ingredients of its predecessors. The text simultaneously stimulates and enthuses students with thought-provoking and accessible material, and is a welcome arrival in light of the recent specification changes.
