Summary
Now in full color, this comprehensive mainstream introductory text, published in paperback and packaged with a complimentary study guide, offers students a current, lively, and concise introduction to sociology -- at a bargain price. It holds a unique place in the market between the big (20+ chapter) hardcover texts and the brief core texts of 12 to 14 chapters. Its clear writing and solid sociology have made it popular at both four-year institutions and community colleges. It provides the basics -- the sociological perspective, theoretical orientations, the use of the scientific method to study human behavior, and the various tools of sociological research -- and emphasizes how sociology offers answers to real-word questions, both personal and public.
