Reviews:
|
AS Sociology for AQA provides a welcome adition to the sociological canon. Not only is it well-written, but challenging concepts and issues are explained with clarity, and it is comprehensive in its coverage. It is a book which could be instrumental in encouraging our students to develop more confidence and concentration as readers of books about sociology in addition to improving their achievements in public examinations.
