A scintillating introduction to what sociology is, what it can be and how it can mould our imagination not only to change our lives but to shape those of others. -- Sujata Patel This is Sociology is a compact yet very wide-ranging introduction. Woodman and Threadgold deal expertly with traditional topics like class, culture and generation; and introduce new themes, from necropolitics and queer theory to climate change, with contemporary thinkers from the post-colonial world. Clearly arranged, clearly written, this is a very useful guide for students and teachers. -- Raewyn Connell This is a superb volume of key concepts that enables students and sociologists worldwide to understand and navigate our changing social world. In addition to a simplified text for students, one can find key references for each topic come from the Global North but also from Global South, as well a very useful glossary. -- Sari Hanafi
