Críticas:

“The students read the book and that is the biggest hurdle I often have to overcome. I love teaching from this book. The students read it and my primary emphasis is to teach how they can continue to use the concepts. I get really good reviews when teaching this class. I think this book is a big contributor to my success.”

Reseña del editor:

The intro textbook that keeps students reading.

Continuing his tradition of highly engaging, trade-like writing, best-selling author David Newman once again starts in a familiar place - the everyday world - and then introduces sociological concepts and institutions as they influence students' daily existence. Full of vivid, real-world examples and touching personal vignettes, this text offers a solid introduction to basic sociological concepts and helps students realize their role in constructing, planning, maintaining, and fixing society.

New to the Ninth Edition:

· all statistical information and all contemporary illustrative examples have been updated to keep the book as fresh as possible both from the students' and instructors' perspectives

· micro-macro connections help students better understand the link between individual lives and the structure of society

· research features expose students to the importance and functionality of social scientific research

· visual essays have been strategically changed to provide a fresh perspective
