Introduction To Sociology

Introduction to Sociology is a book of Sociology for F.Y.B.A. Examination and also useful for competitive exams. This book is written according to the new syllabus in Sociology prescribed by the University of Pune from June 2013-14

Some changes have been made in the present syllabus as compared to the previous syllabus and new Concepts, Scope, Nature, Developments are included like Cultural lag, Personality, Uses of Sociology, Information Society in this syllabus. These new concepts are very vital in the future while studying Sociology. The present book highlights various Concepts, Principles, Meaning and its Applications. After every content in the topic, questions are given so that students can clearly understand the topic more precisely.

Textbook writing is a job where neither the topic nor the time can be properly delaminated. Its content is the irreducible minimum of what we think to be vital for a class room textbook, which by prospect should contain everything but should not be very bulky. It is however no part of the function of the textbook to replace the teacher and subjects, which lend themselves easily to expansion to college lessons.
