Welcome to Social Theory by Tom Brock
Welcome to Social Theoryis exactly what students want: a lucid and engaging introduction to social theory that carefully uses images, examples and quotations to illustrate new ways of examining contemporary social life.
Elegantly written, ambitious in scope and meticulously clear in its exposition, Brock’s Welcome to Social Theory provides an engaging introduction to key currents in social thought that will prove indispensable to both newcomers and more established readers in this field-- Jason Hughes
The author has extensive experience teaching sociological theory to students new to the field. -- Matthew David * Editorial *
This book does what more social theory books should do: it combines a clear and unfussy prose style with carefully selected graphic representations and images of key concepts and ideas. As such, it enables complex ideas to be made clear in ways that words alone often fail to do. I enjoyed very much reading about and ‘looking’ at the conceptual ideas this book sets forth’ -- Christopher Thorpe * Editorial *
