Introduction to Sociology is acclaimed for its classic approach of introducing today's students to sociology while making it relevant to their lives. Each chapter contains numerous discussions of how sociology can be applied to one's personal and professional life. Pedagogical aids, listed throughout the textbook, include chapter summaries, key terms, and sections for thinking sociologically. In addition, end of chapter questions encourage students to assimilate and apply fundamental sociological principles to everyday situations.
