Synopsis

A supplemental text that provides a comprehensive sociological description of five contemporary societies chosen for their diversity. Global Society consists of five freestanding chapters that can be used in any order with any standard sociology text. Each chapter describes a different society, using basic sociological terms and concepts that are keyed to the standard topics in introductory sociology. Global Sociology makes it possible for instructors to globalize their introductory course without changing either their textbook or their course outline.
