Help your students visualize sociology all around them with William Kornblum's vibrant, visual, and research-based new ninth edition of "Sociology in a Changing World, International Edition". Comprehensive and student friendly, "Sociology in a Changing World, International Edition" presents a thematic approach that emphasizes the reality of social change and its impact on individuals, groups, and societies throughout the world. This unique emphasis on social change - which is visited in the book's features - helps students understand our similarities, our differences, and society as a whole. The text carefully balances contemporary and classic theory and research, with special attention to the works of female and minority social scientists and cross-cultural studies. Kornblum applies all the major perspectives of sociology without giving undue emphasis to any single approach. Additionally, "Sociology in a Changing World" is the chosen text for the Exploring Society: Introduction to Sociology Telecourse from Dallas TeleLearning. Challenging yet accessible, interesting and scholarly, Kornblum's ninth edition helps students think like sociologists long after their college experience.
