Description

Sociology has evolved greatly since it's inception as an academic discipline.

It has diverged into numerous strands often flowing in disparate directions - so much so that today the notion of canonical sociology has become widely disputed.

The field of sociology at present approximates to one of multi-paradigmatic complexity in which many approaches to theory must be distinguished and situated.

In addition, the discipline has had to confront new challenges from globalization, the shift of interest from production to consumption, the rise of new social movements, the challenge of bio-engineering, the collapse of a 'presently existing socialist alternative' and much else besides. The new SAGE Handbook of Sociology aims to address these new developments, while at the same time providing an authoritative guide to theory and method, the key sub-disciplines and the primary debates of today. To undertake this ambitious project three leading figures in the field of sociology were selected as editors to bring together the foremost exponents of the different strands that contribute towards the make up modern sociology.

Drawn from both sides of the Atlantic the contributors have been commissioned to utilise the most up to date research available to provide a critical, international analysis of their area of expertise.

The result is this essential resource collection that not just reflects upon the condition of sociology today but also looks to future developments in the discipline.

The Handbook is invaluable not just all sociologists but to a wide variety of students and researchers across the social sciences. Click on 'Sample Chapters & Resources' to download the introduction.
