This book is the first part of the main text for Investigating the Social World (DD103). By focusing on the familiar idea of home, it introduces a range of disciplines in the social sciences: -sociology-social policy and criminology-economics-geography-politics and international studies.The book provides a wide-ranging and detailed introduction to these disciplines and the ways in which they investigate the social world. Each chapter introduces some of the core concerns of each discipline, including social divisions and social change, public policy and private housing markets and their connection to life chances, mapping and landscape, and sovereignty and the nation state. Using a range of richly illustrated examples about home and housing, the chapters are linked by the question of how social scientists investigate the social world to understand the nature and range of inequalities in the world today.
