This text is specifically for AQA specifications. Developed from the "Sociology in Perspective" book, this edition is tailored to the new AS and A level specification from AQA, beginning in September 2000. It matches the structure of the new specification exactly and is designed to be easy and encouraging for students to use. The book contains updated material and activities together with a new chapter on study skills. It also indicates clearly where activities meet the new evidence requirements for key skills.
