Review by Booklist Review

This attractive, illustrated volume is an approachable introduction to the basics of sociology. More than 80 theories and concepts from major figures are covered, giving the reader an overview of topics including social inequalities, culture and identity, and family life. Articles begin with an InContext section with key dates, and they also include biographies of sociologists and cross-referencing for easy navigation within the book. Throughout, color photographs and graphics are utilized to explain and illustrate concepts, time lines, and data. This not only supplements the articles but also makes the articles, theories, and concepts less intimidating to the reader. A great resource for those interested in or beginning the study of sociology.--Casey, Kaela Copyright 2015 Booklist
