Exploring SocietyExploring Society

This is a 4th edition of New Zealand’s leading sociology textbook. The book introduces sociological concepts and methods before investigating key areas of sociology (class, race, gender, family life, health, death, work, the city,populations, technology, religion, leisure and crime) through the New Zealand experience. This 4th edition has been revised and rewritten throughout by a renewed author team. Key changes include: data, examples and case studies completely updated, chapters re-ordered and a new chapter on death added to reflect requests from departments using the book as a teaching text, more emphasis on tikanga and kaupapa Māori and refreshed photograph selection with a local focus. Exploring Society is an engaging, comprehensive and up-to-date introduction for New Zealand sociology students.
