The bestselling Elements of Sociology is back in a highly anticipated second edition. Taking a refreshing look at the discipline through extensive use of first-person narratives, the text inspires students to see sociology in everyday life. Beginning with the origins of the discipline, the authors examine how sociology helps make sense of traditional topics--such as family, deviance, culture--and contemporary issues--such as immigration, health care, and gender and sexuality. Promoting an understanding of core sociological concepts, the new edition challenges students to think differently about sociology.
