Social Inequality by Louise Warwick-Booth
A student-friendly introduction to a popular subject thats taught across the social sciences. Critical, global, and totally student-focused.
What makes this book stand out for me is that, as well as being theoretically informed and clearly written, its structure lends itself unmistakeably to teaching.. If our aim is to teach truly engaged students, it should be our job to provide truly engaging materials. This is what you will find with this particular book. It will help to inform your disciplinary teaching of social inequality across the social sciences and it will provide a solid basis for your seminar work with students. It may also feed your own sociological imagination into the bargain! -- Helen Jones
Warwick-Booth has provided a highly readable introductory text that will be accessible to everyone interested in this area of study, and I highly recommend it for those embarking on studies of social inequality.
-- Matthew Wargent
