The new edition of Sociology helps students take Sociology with them on campus, in their careers, and in their communities. While still maintaining its well-balanced coverage of the 3 perspectives, this new revision has a strong focus on encouraging students to think about their world with a sociological imagination. Through its strong coverage of globalization, race and ethnicity, careers in sociology, and current topics like mass media and social policy, Sociology provides students with knowledge they can use at school, at work, in their neighborhoods, and in the global community.

This text presents a balanced treatment of three sociological perspectives: functionalism, conflict and social interactionism. Multi-cultural examples occur throughout, giving students a broad view of sociological analysis and relevance. Contemporary social policy sections are included to encourage students to think like sociologists; these sections focus on current and often controversial issues of public policy such as domestic violence and National Health insurance. Also included are chapter opening vignettes, boxed discussions, and policy sections.

This best-selling mainstream text is praised for its balanced presentation of the three main perspectives, coverage of race, class, gender and other cultures, and distinctive social policy sections. Used at both two-year and four-year colleges, students praise the engaging narrative, clear explanations and real life examples.

Three basic premises guide this highly successful introductory text – first that theory and research must be both comprehensive and clear, second that the text must show how sociology is relevant both to the study of society and to students' lives, and third that sociology can play a valuable role in teaching critical thinking skills. To that end, this solid, well-respected text combines a balanced three-perspective approach with excellent student-oriented examples, and distinctive social policy sections in a concise presentation that offers an alternative to full-length books.
