This book covers the AS and First Year A-Level topics that are studied by the vast majority of students who take AQA sociology - Family and Households, Education and Sociological Methods (including 'methods in context'). So, if you are studying the other AS options, you should think twice before purchasing it! It provides a concise, yet comprehensive, coverage of the AQA specification. In addition it contains exercises and exam-type questions which will help you to reinforce your knowledge and understanding of the subject, as well as practising the key skills you will need to do well in the examination. The book is 'bang up to date' and includes contemporary research as well as classic studies, and at the end of the book there is a section designed to help you maximise your marks in the final exam.
