From the Publisher
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:
' Stop and Review sections throughout each chapter encourage critical thinking, and help guide students' understanding of key sociological concepts (a real advantage for writing-intensive courses.)
' New! Answers and Discussion sections at the end of each chapter provide answers to the Stop and Review questions and help spark class discussion.
' Boxed information and brief notes in the margins add detail and historical context.
' A Glossary allows students to review key terms found throughout the text.
An available companion reader. Corresponding to the organization of the text, McIntyre's The Practical Skeptic: Readings in Sociology, 2e contains empirical examples of sociological research and contemporary writings on topics of interest to students.
