Product Description
Introduction to Sociology, Sixth Edition, organizes the core concepts of modern sociology around the unifying theme of globalization. Taking a comparative approach, the authors examine American society in a global and historical context, underscoring the wide diversity of social forms and social change. The authors emphasize the connections between American and world societies and the integral role of individuals in shaping both local and global society.
Retaining the hallmark clarity of previous editions, the Sixth Edition has been updated to reflect the most recent sociological research and data. This edition also offers expanded in-text pedagogy and exceptional print and multimedia resources for students and instructors.

6 out of 7 found this review helpful
I have used this book along a more traditional sociology text book, Gellles and Levine 6th Edition, and this book has taken more and more of lecture time. I like the fact that it pust sociology into a global perspective, though I do think some of the examples are geared toward traditional, middle class university students, and not the working class, non traditional students I work with at a community college. However, compared to the G/L book this text is much shorter and conscise. A great introductory text book for sociology, with personal examples to think critically and sociologically about globalization. I also like its inclusion of feminist theory and general gender issues through out the book, not just in the gender chapter. I highly recommend it.

I thought this book was really helpful in introducing the basic terms and concepts of Sociology. Everything is clear cut and really easy to understand. This is a great book if you're just starting to learn about Sociology. If you are already a pro then you probably will only need this book to refresh some basic concepts.

This book makes me love sociology, and understand it. I love the down to earth examples from real life situations, such as people working in health clubs and people on the streets and the way this gets used to introduce the meat and potatoes of sociology.
