Within the book there are definitions boxes which I found really useful, especially for revision. I found this book useful, however it covers both the AQA and the OCR exam board so therefore there is going to be stuff ijn there which you dont need - like half the book!

Its good for research but not ideal for revision.

Sociology in Focus is a comprehensive textbook for 'A' level and higher education. It offers a fresh and innovative approach. Each chapter contains a range of interesting activities which allow you to apply and develop ideas from the preceeding text. This is a really good alternative to normal textbooks. this textbook is a 'must' for all sociology students.

An A Level 'textbook' with interesting excercises and a wide coverage of topics. The language used is easy to understand, and the concepts are explained clearly.

I have found the format of the book very good. The exercises and way that subjects are covered is very good for students at any level
