Sociology - Anthony Giddens
KORTE INHOUD
This book breaks new ground in textbook publishing in Britain. It is written at a level accessible to

usually absent from textbooks in the subject, such as military power and war, or communications
and the mass media. The book also strongly emphasizes a comparative perspective.
