The Practical Skeptic, a concise introduction to sociology, focuses on core concepts as the central building blocks for understanding sociology. Lisa McIntyre's straightforward, lively, even humorous style and her emphasis on critical thinking make this an engaging and user-friendly text for students of all levels. Through this conversational narrative, students are able to grasp key sociological concepts and learn the essential lesson that there is much that goes on in the social world that escapes the sociologically untrained eye.

New chapter on Social Institutions provides greater attention to this core concept.
Consolidated research methods content to two chapters, thereby, providing a more balanced coverage of topics.
Expanded coverage of social change in the chapters on culture, social institutions, deviance, and social class.
Lively writing style. McIntyre conveys abstract concepts by mixing a conversational tone with humor and brief notes in the margins that add detail and historical context, making this text engaging and enjoyable for undergraduates.
Interactive pedagogy:
