Sociology: Your Compass for a New World, The Brief Edition (with InfoTrac) (Available Titles CengageNOW) - Softcover
Synopsis
This brief, balanced, totally up-to-date text is characterized by its focus on the connection between oneself and the social world. It teaches students "how" to think, rather than just "what" to think, draws the connection between objectivity and subjectivity in sociological research, and places an emphasis on the importance of diversity and the global perspective. It is heralded for its inclusion of pop culture examples that truly connect with the students of today, and for its presentation of sociological concepts in a fresh, new contemporary way.

Review
"With unusual passion, this text invites the reader to not only reflect on his/her place in society, or to imagine and re-imagine the possibilities beyond the familiar, but also to engage the complexity of the human condition with sociological eyes. The authors' approach, writing style, and pedagogical features make the student aware of the sociological issues of our time."
