Synopsis
This balanced, mainstream, totally up-to-date text is characterized by its focus on the connection between oneself and the social world. It teaches students "how" to think, rather than just "what" to think, draws the connection between objectivity and subjectivity in sociological research, and places an emphasis on the importance of diversity and the global perspective. Students have to navigate a world that is increasingly complex and confusing. SOCIOLOGY: YOUR COMPASS FOR A NEW WORLD will help them do just that. Bob Brym and John Lie wrote this book to show undergraduate students that sociology can help them make sense of their lives, however uncertain they may appear to be. By revealing the opportunities and constraints students face, the book helps them know themselves and see what they can become in this particular social and historical context.

Review
"The features are what get the attention of the students and provide regular links to the studentsA AcentsAcentsa A-Acentsa Acents lives. Other texts use "boxes" that serve the same purpose as your features but not in as consistent a format. The currency is a major strength -- and the overt attempt to link to young people. This is a major positive when compared to other texts."
