Description:

Sociology Matters, Seventh Edition, is intended for instructors who desire an especially short, relatively inexpensive introductory text and a concise introduction to the discipline of sociology. The author's characteristic straightforward style, a streamlined design, and highly focused coverage make it the perfect introductory text for instructors who use a variety of materials in their course. This volume includes comprehensive, balanced coverage of the major theoretical perspectives. With an emphasis on real-world applications, students will be able to see the relevance of sociological concepts to contemporary issues, events, and everyday life.
The seventh edition includes strong coverage of gender, race, ethnicity, and social class as well as considerable cross-cultural coverage.
