with key studies identified throughout.My students have commented on the easy

I have strongly advised my students to purchase CollinsStudent Support Materials”

Emma Innesbeer, Head of Sociology, School of Advanced Education, Lincoln College,

reviewing Collins Student Support Materials for Sociology

“I have to say, after years of using a wide range ofsociology textbooks and specific books on Families and Households, this is by far the best. The detail is

just right, [and] there are plenty of studies (and different ones to those generally included in books).

The exam practice section is brilliant. Students cry out for exam questions with proper example answers.

It covers what the students need, and to a level that is good for top students as well.”
