For one-semester Introductory
Sociology courses.
"A 10-chapter book that gets to the
core of Sociology."
Concise coverage, balanced viewpoints, and
an attractive full-colour design characterize this popular
introductory sociology text. In just 10 brief chapters,
Core Concepts in Sociology covers the key material required
for a short introductory course and reflects the authors' careful
consideration of the needs of Canadian classes. The
innovative "In-Class Edition" format helps students actively engage
with the learning process, by combining the text and study guide
into one source, by including study tips right alongside the text,
and by including a bound-in study card. In the second
edition, the lively student-centred writing style has been
maintained, with an increased depth to coverage of theory and
methods, particularly feminism and qualitative research
methods. The chapters have been reorganized to improve the
flow of the book, and statistical data have been thoroughly revised
and updated to bring students the most up-to-date text
available. Also, this new edition now includes
MySocLab, the innovative resource centre for research and
study aids. With these and other valuable features, Core
Concepts in Sociology will be a strong asset to both
instructors and their students, presenting lots of opportunities to
inspire student participation and success.
