Customer Reviews

Invaluable
this is one of the first books i bought whilst studying an access course at college a couple of years back - and it has been of tremendous help throughout my university year. this is one book i would not be without - it makes light work of long sociological words.

it is not like a dictionary more of a bible for any kind of social work, or sociology work - it is my one saviour sometimes when i am writing uni essays.

highly recommended
