Sociology is one of the vast subjects, which encompasses a thorough study of the society as well as of the individuals responsible for its ever-dynamic nature. Pearson's UGC NET Sociology, in its second edition, continues to elucidate on sociological concepts with a concise yet comprehensive approach. Designed as per the latest NTA syllabus pattern, the book is segregated into 10 units which are further bifurcated into 28 chapters, for clear understanding of the concepts. The unit of Basic Concepts and Institutions has been updated with important topics like Social Change and Processes, and Social Stratification, which holds importance from UGC's current examination questions perspective.
