内容説明

SOCIOLOGY: DISCOVERING SOCIETY, 2nd provides comprehensive coverage of sociology in an affordable, paperback format. With research studies in every chapter and boxes that portray sociologists at work, it will especially appeal to sociology professors who value a quantitative, research-methodology-oriented approach. Instead of presenting every possible theory for each issue, Stockard's streamlined approach pulls in theories only when they appropriately relate to the issue at hand. This integrated approach produces a text that reads more smoothly than the overly-encyclopedic, heavily-interrupted narratives of other texts.
