This fully revised and updated version of Anthony Giddens's Sociology, now in its fifth edition, offers an unrivalled introduction for students new to the subject - lucid, lively, authoritative and original. Written by one of the world's leading sociologists, this comprehensive textbook manages to be clear, accessible and jargon-free, but without oversimplifying complex debates.Earlier editions of Sociology broke new ground by incorporating cutting-edge debates, such as the impact of globalisation, into an introductory text. This fifth edition remains a state of the art textbook, with fresh and engaging new material added throughout. While covering all of the core topics of sociology, the fifth edition also includes a great deal of substantive new material, ensuring that students are introduced to the most recent sociological debates. Throughout, the book weaves together classical and contemporary theory and data, and provides a wide range of everyday examples to which students can easily relate.The fifth edition also benefits from:¢ New discussions of global inequality, disability, ageing and the life course, risk, the network society, and terrorism, as well as many other additional and up-to-date topics.¢ Numerous learning aids in every chapter, such as summary points, questions for further thought, and additional reading suggestions, which help to reinforce students' knowledge.¢ Lots of extra photographs, diagrams, case studies and cartoons, to bring ideas to life and fire students' imaginations.¢ High-quality supplementary resources on a dedicated website, including a full instructors' manual and additional student aids, all specially designed to stimulate students' learning and critical thinking.The fifth edition of this classic textbook is an ideal teaching text for first-year university and college courses, and will be essential reading for all students who are looking for an exciting, authoritative and easy-to-follow introduction to sociology.

读后感

社会学有必要掌握 却不需要刻意学 除非是专门搞学术的 学而不思则罔 看这类纯学术的书更多的是要从中产生自己的思考 总体编的还很不错 我买的第一本非课业砖头书 先是可以挑一些感兴趣的章节读读  

我买的是个蓝色封面的,比这个图片好看多了。 吉登斯终于经过两年的时间看完了。越看到最后，越觉得字字珠矶。好在是个小本，可以放在手边随时拿过来看，因为这个社会学简直太全面了。不过，由于是一大帮研究生们的翻译作品，就像跟我自己的翻译作品一样，读起来有那么些的生涩...  

我看了这本书，我觉得这本书最大的不同是处处注意从女权主义的角度在各个方面介绍与性别有关的问题，并尽量从女性的角度出发来叙述，而对种族和族群的差异方面就相对不那么警觉了，单由吉登斯的这本著作能够看出女权主义对他思想的影响。  

这真是“一本”（分上下册）巨著，厚达1100页，写了160万字，看得我好累啊！不过，终于看完了，对当代社会有了更加全面的认识。 “功能主义认为社会是一个复杂系统，它的各个组成部分协同工作产生了稳定，社会学应该研究它们的关系。……一个社会的不同部分的发展总是和别的部...  

非科班生，完全是出于兴趣去看的。几个月前就看完了，为了沉淀一下客观地评价此书，后来居然忘了写书评，为人处事保守至此。好些内容都忘记当初的读后感了，印象最深的内容罗列如下。 一、刷新了我对宗教的看法。 宗教是一种影响力强大的文化，对一个社会影响深远。比如说韦伯...
