For courses in Introductory Sociology
A down-to-earth approach to sociology
Essentials of Sociology: A Down-to-Earth Approach highlights the sociology of everyday life and its relevance to students' lives. With wit, personal reflection, and illuminating examples, author James Henslin stimulates students' sociological imaginations so they can better perceive how the pieces of society fit together. Six central themes guide students through this concise overview of the discipline: a down-to-earth approach, globalization, cultural diversity, critical thinking, the new technology, and the influence of the mass media on our lives. The Twelfth Edition has been extensively revised to include contemporary examples and fresh topics that bring sociology to life.
Also available with MySocLab (R)
