Sociology


Book Description

"Throughout this text, the goal is to share with your students how fascinating and enlightening sociology is. Because sociology is about social life and we live in a changing global society, this 15th edition of Sociology: A Down-to-Earth Approach continues to reflect the national and global changes that engulf us, as well as presents new sociological research. The down-to-earth examples, for which this text is known, will help your students see how sociology applies to them. So will the photos, about 555 of them, of which 228 are new. The photos are neither random nor "fillers." I have either selected or taken each of these photos, as well as written each caption. By tying the photos and their captions directly into the text, they become part of your students' learning experience"--




Down to Earth Sociology


Book Description

The twelfth edition's new readings include selections on the unspoken rules of social interaction, the shocking disparities between upper- and lower-class life, America's changing attitudes toward work and family and the roles they fulfill, and the "McDonaldization" of American society. Together with these essential new articles, the selections by Peter Berger, Herbert Gans, Erving Goffman, Donna Eder, Zella Luria, C. Wright Mills, Deborah Tannen, Barrie Thorne, Sidney Katz, Philip Zimbardo, and many others provide firsthand reporting that gives students a sense of "being there." Henslin also explains basic methods of social research, providing insight into how sociologists explore the social world. The selections in Down to Earth Sociology highlight the most significant themes of contemporary sociology, ranging from the sociology of gender, power, politics, sports, and religion, to the contemporary crises of racial tension, crime, rape, poverty, and homelessness.

Social Problems in a Diverse Society


Book Description

Social Problems in a Diverse Society provides students and instructors with a text that covers all the major social concerns we must deal with today. It focuses on the significance of racialization and ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, class, ability, and gender in understanding social problems in Canada and around the globe. Throughout the text, people--especially those from marginalized groups--are shown not merely as "victims" of social problems, but also as individual actors with agency who resist discrimination and inequality and seek to bring about change in families, schools, workplaces, and the larger society.
