Description
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.
- The opening vignettes that begin each chapter have been updated to reflect the most recent trends and statistics and 12 of them have been significantly revised. Five are brand new to this edition including vignettes on: preventable disasters (chapter 5) women in America (chapter 10) school bullying (chapter 14) influence peddling (chapter 15) and health as a social fact (chapter 20).
- Nearly 70 revised or new tables have been added throughout the book as well as figures containing the most current statistics available including data that incorporates the most recent decennial U.S. Census (2010) or annual updates.
- Over 136 new references and/or citations have been added.
- A continued emphasis on the relevance of sociology remains important and sections have been included in each chapter on how students can apply specific sociological theories and/or concepts to their professional and personal lives.
