For undergraduate Introduction to Sociology courses.
Fully addressing today's most relevant issues without losing track of the classical theoretical work which defines the core of the discipline, this exceptionally comprehensive and well-written introduction to the dynamic field of sociology helps students understand its significance to their everyday lives. Emphasizing diversity issues―particularly gender―and globalization, the text makes real-world connections throughout―concluding each chapter with a Life Connections section (covering aspects of everyday life which will be meaningful to students), and with a Society Connections section (highlighting relevant policy issues related to the topic of that specific chapter), and broadens the learning experience with enriching supplemental media support.
