This new edition of a leading sociology textbook enhances its predecessor's strengths in thematic coherence, clarity, and analytical depth. It comprehensively covers key introductory topics while engaging with contemporary debates surrounding modernity, globalization, and social identity. Notable updates include a new chapter on the media, expanded discussions on social divisions encompassing disability, youth, and old age alongside class, gender, and race, and a more concise treatment of social theory featuring contemporary theorists like Habermas, Giddens, and Beck. The text maintains a strong blend of theoretical, empirical, and illustrative material, reinforcing its critical and applied approach. Designed for both students and instructors, the book offers extensive pedagogical support, including an Instructor's Resource Pack with PowerPoint slides available online or in hardcopy upon request. It features a detailed glossary that serves as a mini-dictionary of sociology, chapter-specific reading lists for further guidance, and thought-provoking questions for essays and discussions. Additionally, the text is enriched with various visual aids such as pictures, figures, graphs, and tables, making it an invaluable resource for understanding the complexities of sociology.
