Stunning infographics further explain the ebb and flow of power in society. Heads Up Sociology is the ultimate tool to help you get to grips with sociology in time for exams, and is an essential read for anyone keen to ask the big questions about the world we live in today.Dr Christopher Thorpe is an associate lecturer in Sociology at the University of Exeter, England, with a special interest in social theory, culture, and globalization.
