An AQA-approved resource. Sociology for AQA Volume 2 is the new edition of Ken Browne, Jonathan Blundell and Pamela Law's widely used textbook, designed for the second year of AQA's new Sociology A level (for first teaching from September 2015).

The third edition includes: up-to-date discussions of a wide range of recent sociological data and debates practice questions on every specification item a dedicated chapter on all the specification 'Topics in Sociology' full-colour photographs, diagrams and cartoons, to bring ideas to life and fire students' imaginations a dedicated website at www.politybooks.com/browne, with resources for teachers and additional material designed to help students revise or research themes in the book. Key sociological terms are systematically highlighted throughout the text and are included in a thorough glossary, with thoughtful questions and activities at important points within the chapters to develop and test students' understanding further. Pitched at the right level for the new AQA Sociology specification, the book provides the tools necessary to help students and encourage them to take their study of Sociology further. Together with the accompanying Sociology for AQA Volume 1, this is an invaluable resource for studying and teaching sociology.

This timely volume introduces a new social class schema, the European Socio-economic Classification (ESeC), which has been specifically developed and tested for use in EU comparative research. Social Class in Europe aims to introduce researchers to the new classification and its research potential. Since socio-economic classifications are so widely used in official and academic research, this collection is essential reading for all users of both government and academic social classifications. While primarily aimed at researchers who will be using the ESeC, the book’s contents will also have a wider appeal as it is suitable for students taking substantive courses in European studies or as a supplementary text for undergraduates studying the EU, Sociology and Economics. Because of its inherent methodological interest, the book should prove a valuable tool for undergraduate and graduate courses that discuss how social scientists construct and validate basic measures. It will also be required reading for policy makers and analysts concerned with social inequality and social exclusion across Europe.

Taking an intersectional approach to the study of health and illness, Second Opinion introduces students to the field through an accessible yet authoritative overview of key theories, debates, and research findings. Written in a clear, straightforward style, with contributions from bothCanadian and international scholars, this comprehensive volume examines a wide range of topics including racialization, disability, aging, the environment, Aboriginal health, and the political economy of the health industry. Themes such as the social determinants of health, health inequalities,intersectionality, and the roles of both structure and agency in creating and maintaining the status quo are integrated throughout. The array of pedagogical features fosters engagement with the material, while providing study support and suggestions for further learning. New content and examples -on maternal mortality rates, the latest in sociological theory, health care inequalities in Canada, obesity, appearance norms, healthy aging, physician-assisted death, drug costs in Canada and the world, and integrated health care - encourage students to think critically about health-care practicesand policies in Canada within a global health perspective. Thoroughly revised and up-to-date, with a new visual program to appeal to visual learners and a new chart on the inside cover that details the coverage of social determinants throughout the text, the second Canadian edition of Second Opinion ensures that students of health sociology have everythingthey need to understand this complex discipline, right at their fingertips.

Research into social stratification and social divisions has always been a central component of sociological study. This volume brings together a range of thematically organised case-studies comprising empirical and methodological analyses addressing the challenges of studying trends and processes in social stratification. This collection has four themes. The first concerns the measurement of social stratification, since the problem of relating concepts, measurements and operationalizations continues to cause difficulties for sociological analysis. This book clarifies the appropriate deployment of existing measurement options, and presents new empirical strategies of measurement and interpretation. The conception of the life course and individual social biography is very popular in modern sociology. The second theme of this volume exploits the contemporary expansion of micro-level longitudinal data and the analytical approaches available to researchers to exploit such records. It comprises chapters which exemplify innovative empirical analysis of life-course processes in a longitudinal context, thus offering an advance on previous sociological accounts concerned with longitudinal trends and processes. The third theme of the book concerns the interrelationship between contemporary demographic, institutional and socioeconomic transformations and structures of social inequality. Although the role of wider social changes is rarely neglected in sociological reviews, such changes continue to raise analytical challenges for any assessment of empirical differences and trends. The fourth theme of the book discusses selected features of policy and political responses to social stratification. This volume will be of interest to students, academics and policy experts working in the field of social stratification.
