Social Sciences Higher Education Textbooks

Human society and the relationships between people is a fascinating, diverse and challenging field of work. It requires a deep understanding of different people and ways of thinking, and as well as empathy to be able to truly put oneself in someone else’s shoes.

From cultural studies to communication, sociology to anthropology, social science is a broad subject area. Students in this field might study broadly at first before narrowing down their focus into a specific subject. Whether students are just beginning tertiary study or are specialising in later years, Booktopia offers a diverse range of social science books to support that learning.

Popular social science books
Public Sociology offers a fascinating look at humans and society. It explores Australian social life, families and intimate relationships, class and inequality, race and ethnic relations, and includes up-to-date sections about recent events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement. It’s a must-read for students entering the sociology field.

Another interesting read is Cultural Anthropology 101. This title explains what it means to be human, the key characteristics of culture as a concept, the relocation and dislocation of peoples, the concept of economic anthropology, and more. It includes case studies for real-world examples, and offers a great introduction to the subject as a whole.

Some jobs, sadly, require protecting children from their environments. Effective Child Protection is a reliable and practical guide for anyone working in this area or studying towards a career in child services. It covers how practice judgements and decisions can be improved in this line of work, with sections on the difficulties of assessing risk and on minimising mistakes.

How to Rethink Human Behaviour is a popular read for anyone looking to improve their practical skills in human observation and behaviour. It takes concepts from sociology, social anthropology, economics, and history, and offers ways for students to better make sense of why people do what they do.

Booktopia makes it easy to stock up on social science books online, so explore our bestsellers and make the most of free shipping for orders over $99.
