{"product_id":"foundations-of-sociology-richard-jenkins-9780333960509","title":"Foundations of Sociology: Towards a Better Understanding of the Human World","description":"This book argues that the foundations of sociology - key concepts which are necessary to all sociology, from whatever perspective - have become taken-for-granted and require re-assessment. Focusing on society, culture, the individual, and collectivity, the author builds a powerful case for an overhaul of these basic concepts, offering a unified model of the subject matter of sociology as 'the human world' - understood as individual, interactional and institutional orders - which is part of the 'natural world'. Written in a straightforward and accessible style, this is a powerful restatement of the value of sociological sense as a necessary critique of common sense, and its relevance to an audience far beyond academia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Jenkins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0333960505\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780333960509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Red Globe Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/12\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 179\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.08h x 5.22w x 0.60d","brand":"Richard Jenkins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48112867180799,"sku":"9780333960509","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0f8c5974-c38e-4eda-bb8a-7dba88682306.jpg?v=1769611475","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/foundations-of-sociology-richard-jenkins-9780333960509","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
