About this title

Synopsis

OFFICIAL PRINT VERSION: OpenStax OER official printed textbooks, published by XanEdu Publishing (XanEdu is OpenStax official print provider), ships from and sold by Amazon.com

ABOUT THIS BOOK: This is the most affordable printed OpenStax book available. As an OpenStax Partner we print all OpenStax textbooks with a unique soft cover and BW interior pages. The textbook content is exactly the same as the free digital OpenStax book (Digital ISBN\-13: 978\-1\-947172\-11\-1). This textbook is available for free download at the OpenStax website, but as many students prefer the convenience of a printed book, we offer this book in partnership with OpenStax to provide an affordable printed option for college students.

BOOK SUMMARY: Introduction to Sociology 2e adheres to the scope and sequence of a typical, one\-semester introductory sociology course. It offers comprehensive coverage of core concepts, foundational scholars, and emerging theories. The textbook presents section reviews with rich questions, discussions that help students apply their knowledge, and features that draw learners into the discipline in meaningful ways. The second edition has been updated significantly to reflect the latest research and current, relevant examples. Changes made in Introduction to Sociology 2e are described in the preface to help instructors transition to the second edition.

ABOUT OPENSTAX: OpenStax course materials are the most widely used OER textbooks in the world. Always free in digital format, the books are also available low cost in full\-color hardcover and B\x26W paperback print formats.
