Our Social World: Introduction to Sociology, Brief Edition introduces the discipline of sociology to the contemporary student and provides an integrated, comprehensible framework from which to view the world in a concise format.

- Offers a strong global focus: A global perspective is integrated into each chapter to encourage students to think of global society as a logical extension of their own micro world.
- Deep Learning Approach: Encourages Students to think critically about the social World
- Presents “The Social World Model” in each chapter: This organizing framework helps students understand the interrelatedness of core concepts.
