内容説明

This volume provides a focused introduction to sociology and sociological practice. It tells how sociologists make practical sense out of social life and how they use their knowledge and perspectives to create positive change. The authors work in a variety of academic, non-profit and business settings. This new edition has been updated and reorganized. Three sections introduce sociology and its tools, uses of sociology and using sociology in one's own life. The theory and history chapters have been revised, with more practical examples to help students relate the concepts with every-day life. The methodology chapter now covers more of the basic statistical concepts and also expands coverage of applied methods, marketing research and other real-world uses of qualitative and quantitative methods. There is a new chapter on crime and deviance which is designed to make it easier for students to relate theory to practical issues and applications, and the chapter on applying clincial sociological concepts to improving one's own life and relationships has been greatly expanded.
