Now in its eighth edition, this continues to be the indispensable guide to understanding the world we make and the lives we lead. Revised and updated throughout, it remains unrivalled in its vibrant, engaging and authoritative introduction to sociology. The authors provide a commanding overview of recent global developments and new ideas in sociology. Classic debates are also given careful coverage, with even the most complex ideas explained in an engaging way. Written in a fluent, easy–to–follow style, the book manages to be intellectually rigorous but still very accessible. With a strong focus on interactive pedagogy, it aims to engage and excite readers, helping them to see the enduring value of thinking sociologically. The eighth edition includes: a solid foundation in the basics of sociology: its purpose, methodology and theories; up–to–the–minute overviews of key topics in social life, from gender, personal life and poverty, to globalization, the media and politics; stimulating examples of what sociology has to say about key issues in our contemporary world, such as growing inequality, climate change and the rise of terrorism; a strong focus on global sociology and the ways that digital technologies are radically transforming our world; quality pedagogical features, such as ‘Classic Studies’ and ‘Global Society’ boxes, and ‘Thinking Critically’ reflection points, as well as end–of–chapter activities inviting readers to engage with popular culture and original research articles to gather sociological insights. The eighth edition sets the standard for introductory sociology. Complete with extensive supporting resources at www.politybooks.com/giddens , it is the ideal teaching text for first–year university and college courses, and will help to inspire a new generation of sociologists.

读后感

社会学还不是一个显学，很多人不知道是什么东西，这本书是有力的证明。但主要太厚适合专业人士阅读。希望有简略版，让质疑社会学学问的人懂事点。。。  

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  

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...

本书不是那么理论强的让你什么也看不懂，而是用平实的语言，举出大量的例子！从书中可以学到很多现实的问题，而不是空洞的定力！这才是教科书应该的样子！从书里可以了解到社会学方方面面，对于实际生活中遇到的问题有很强的指导作用！非常好！  

用户评价

继续保持社会学概论教材世界最高水准，界面非常友好，活泼多样，利于新手和外专业。继续注重全球化反恐环保族群及欧洲困境，紧扣英国特色，新到标明鲍曼去世，旧到跟不上英国脱欧乱局。大陆有四五七版中译和六版英文影印，本版中译但愿今秋开学可用
