Studying Society: An Introduction to Social Science

by G.B.J. Atkinson

This lively introduction to the field of social science concentrates on specific areas of people's work and unemployment, citizenship, the changing nuclear and extended families, race relations, and the nature of friendship and love. The authors organize their data in a unique way to
highlight central concepts and methods and introduce readers to important social scientists. Although the main disciplines of economics, political science, sociology, and social psychology are analyzed in detail, Studying Society also serves as a truly introductory text on social science as a
whole.
