Reviews

“The best textbook for AQA Sociology!” 5* Amazon review
“These two books are probably the best introductions to sociology that I’ve come across. The writing is always clear and easy to understand throughout, which is not usually the case with other, similar-type publications, where some topics often seem much more demanding than others. Haralambos and Holborn write in such a manner that many of the complexities of the subject seem almost to disappear, as each topic is clearly presented, explained and dissected, with lots of learning devices used within the texts to help consolidate one’s learning. Even when the topic is as demanding as methodology or sociological theory, these authors never fail to deliver. The books also cover a great deal sociological research, with both classical studies mixed in with up to date, recent research.
But not only that, they bring the subject to life, making it interesting and memorable for readers.Great to finally have the work updated for the new syllabus.” 5* Amazon review.
“Kings of Sociology…. Haralambos and Holborn… coming from an A Level Sociology Teacher.” 5* Amazon review.
“This is a beautiful book, not just in appearance but in its functionality. It offers both range and depth of coverage in a style and format that is accessible to all students of sociology, of all abilities. It is an intelligently written book which engages the reader with stimulating images and well-designed consolidation activities throughout. This is the ideal book for skills-development, particularly application, analysis and evaluation which many texts fail to address. A brilliant book, long overdue!” Chris Deakin, Head of Sociology at Banbury Academy.
“Haralambos and Holborn continue to set the standard in Sociology textbooks. This new book is certainly one of the best I've come across and the style, layout and illustrations make it a great exam preparation.” Dr P. McGovern, Amazon Review.
