Description and Table of Contents
Description
The aim of this introductory text in sociology is to hook students' interest and get them to read, see and think sociologically. The book includes snapshots' (journalistic accounts) and portraits' (empirical sociological studies). Each part is introduced with an essay which ties the snapshots and portraits together and explains where and who the big ideas of the discipline came from, their context, and how they continue to be applicable to our thinking about society today. Each part ends with a section called Developing Your Own Snapshots' which encourages students to learn by doing their own sociological thinking. There are photo essays at the beginning of each part which serve to capture the students' interest.
