Sociology addresses the basic question of why people behave the way they do, but it does so utilizing perspectives distinctly different from those employed by other social or natural sciences. Thinking Sociologically, 2/e introduces elements of basic sociological perspectives, both past and present. Rather than focusing on what sociologists currently think about various topics, it features many examples of how sociologists think. It guides readers in developing and using a sociological imagination, so that they can apply critical thinking, appropriate theory, and a knowledge of methodology in finding answers to their own questions about human behavior. To help students bridge the gap between theory and research, this introductory text: . provides a modern interpretation of the nature of science, and gives students the methodological tools with which to evaluate competing scientific claims; . introduces the network approach as a theoretical alternative to social-disorganization theory; . explains what constitutes a sociological problem and describes how to transform a hypothesis into a research project that is feasible, interesting, and useful; . features exercises in critical yet open-minded assessment of claims to knowledge; . invites the reader to join in some intriguing contemporary debates in the field of sociology . includes stimulating illustrative readings that reinforce students analytical and logical thinking skills while sharpening their sociological imaginations. Thinking Sociologically, 2/e invites students to become active participants in sociology as an applied field: asking questions and seeking explanations for the behavior of real people in real situations in the real world."

Zygmunt Bauman has written more than seventy books over five decades, most taking a single subject and finding doors to open it in all directions. His work is an essential reference point in sociology, but it is time that everyone caught up with him. In this book Tony Blackshaw doesn't just tell us that Bauman is a massive star in sociology, he demonstrates why his light shines brighter than that of almost any other intellectual figure in the world today by offering his readers deep insights into the 'Bauman Effect'. The new Bauman reader is two books in one. On the one hand, it is a critical introduction to a vital and inspiring sociologist who stands against the predictable in 'majority' sociology to draw out daring and new insights from which we can all learn. On the other, it is an anthology of his work chosen with the specific aim of guiding readers, whether undergraduates, postgraduates, academics or general readers to Bauman's original way of 'thinking sociologically', which is as irresistible as the 'liquid' metaphor that guides it.

In this lucid, stimulating and original book, Zygmunt Bauman and Tim May explore the underlying assumptions and tacit expectations which structure our view of the world. The authors elucidate key concepts in sociology: for example, individualism versus community, and privilege versus deprivation. While charting a course through sociology's main concerns, Bauman and May also examine the applicability of sociology to everyday life.

Sociology students must not only acquire knowledge of the discipline but also learn to apply it and think sociologically. [The author hopes] this book will help toward that end.... Unlike most introductory textbooks, which prsent the discipline's concepts and theories. The result is something closer to "sociology in action" rather than merely "sociology on display". -Pref.
