For all the notes and support that you will ever want or need, written in an accessible and personal style, have a look at Chris Livesey's Sociology Central site. You are advised to download onto a disc rather than print materials out directly. This site is growing all the time and is an excellent resource for you to use. You can also get there from the ATSS site and others, so you see that it is highly recommended.
