First published in 1969, Studies in British Society is a comprehensive collection of excerpts from seven significant studies of modern British society. These studies showcase the unique approaches sociologists employ to investigate diverse aspects of social behavior. The selections encompass a wide range of experiences and aspects of life in contemporary Britain. They include in-depth examinations of the effects of new industries on the urban landscape of an old English town, the dynamics between management and labor in the coal industry, the nature of a small religious sect, democratic participation in a retail cooperative society, the realities of life in an English prison, the influence of class factors in education, and the child-rearing practices in an urban community. By presenting these diverse studies, the book aims to introduce readers to the major contributions of modern British sociologists and provide them with deeper insights into the rich tapestry of life in Britain.
