Purchase options and add-ons
La novena edición revisada y actualizada de la Sociología de Giddens y Sutton sigue siendo la introducción más completa y rigurosa a esta disciplina. Presenta de forma accesible y directa tanto los debates clásicos y las ideas más complejas como los últimos desarrollos globales. Aporta un fundamento sólido a los elementos básicos de la sociología, su finalidad, su metodología y sus teorías; un examen detallado de los temas clave de la vida social, desde el género hasta la vida personal y la pobreza, la globalización, los medios de comunicación y la política; ejemplos de qué puede aportar la sociología en los debates de nuestro tiempo, como el cambio climático, la creciente desigualdad y polarización en todo el mundo. Como en otras ediciones, se anima al lector a que reflexione sobre las cuestiones más importantes, así como sobre las estrategias y métodos de investigación, y a que identifique los temas sociológicos en artefactos culturales como novelas, películas, etc. y cuenta con abundantes materiales pedagógicos.

About the author
Anthony Giddens, Baron Giddens (born 18 January 1938) is a British sociologist who is known for his theory of structuration and his holistic view of modern societies. He is considered to be one of the most prominent modern sociologists, the author of at least 34 books, published in at least 29 languages, issuing on average more than one book every year. In 2007, Giddens was listed as the fifth most-referenced author of books in the humanities.
Three notable stages can be identified in his academic life. The first one involved outlining a new vision of what sociology is, presenting a theoretical and methodological understanding of that field, based on a critical reinterpretation of the classics. His major publications of that era include Capitalism and Modern Social Theory (1971) and The Class Structure of the Advanced Societies (1973). In the second stage Giddens developed the theory of structuration, an analysis of agency and structure, in which primacy is granted to neither. His works of that period, such as New Rules of Sociological Method (1976), Central Problems in Social Theory (1979) and The Constitution of Society (1984), brought him international fame on the sociological arena.
The most recent stage concerns modernity, globalisation and politics, especially the impact of modernity on social and personal life. This stage is reflected by his critique of postmodernity, and discussions of a new "utopian-realist" third way in politics, visible in the Consequences of Modernity (1990), Modernity and Self-Identity (1991), The Transformation of Intimacy (1992), Beyond Left and Right (1994) and The Third Way: The Renewal of Social Democracy (1998). Giddens' ambition is both to recast social theory and to re-examine our understanding of the development and trajectory of modernity.
Giddens served as Director of the London School of Economics 1997–2003, where he is now Emeritus Professor at the Department of Sociology.
