Publisher's Synopsis
This updated edition of "Sociology in a changing world" has a cohesive thematic approach - focusing on social/global change - to the introductory course and gives students a better understanding of sociology as it is applied to the real world. The book emphasizes the reality of social change and its impact on individuals, groups, and societies throughout the world. The text balances contemporary and classic theory and research, with special attention to the works of female and minority social scientists and cross-cultural studies. William Kornblum applies all the major perspectives of sociology without giving undue emphasis to any single approach. This title also includes a WebCT Guide and PIN code. WebCT online courses provide lecture notes and additional content tied directly to the text, along with self-tests, interactive activities, and net links. All this is directly customized by the Lecturer to suit their individual course.
