Designed to introduce students to key concepts and methods in sociology and to engage them in critical thinking, Ten Lessons in Introductory Sociology provides a brief and valuable overview to four major questions that guide the discipline: * Why sociology? * What unites us? * What divides us? * How do societies change? Deftly balancing breadth and depth, the book makes the study of sociology accessible, relevant, and meaningful. Contextualizing the most important issues, Ten Lessons helps students discover "the sociological imagination" and what it means to be part of an engaged public discourse.
This is a comprehensive introductory sociology text that covers all the key topics needed to give students a broad understanding of the field. It presents key theories and provides contemporary examples of research. It brings in different voices in a way that a standard textbook does not. * Kim Manturuk, ^lUNC - Chapel Hill *
The Food for Thought" feature is fantastic. I have had students tell me they liked these a lot. As an introductory textbook, Ten Lessons has several advantages. * Ronald Helfrich, ^lSUNY Oneota *
This brief book is more focused and less dry than standard introductory textbooks and should promote reflexive and analytical thought more successfully than traditional texts. * Daniel Kreutzer, ^lMetropolitan State University *
