Product Description
The only textbook that helps students make micro-macro connections, Introduction to Sociology helps students uncover the surprising links between everyday life and global change. The Seventh Edition does not simply compare the United States to other countries, but shows students how global processes play out in their lives. Drawing on research from both macro and micro sociology, the author team shows how sociologists bring the two together to give a comprehensive picture of modern society.

6 out of 7 found this review helpful
I have used this book along a more traditional sociology text book, Gellles and Levine 6th Edition, and this book has taken more and more of lecture time. I like the fact that it pust sociology into a global perspective, though I do think some of the examples are geared toward traditional, middle class university students, and not the working class, non traditional students I work with at a community college. However, compared to the G/L book this text is much shorter and conscise. A great introductory text book for sociology, with personal examples to think critically and sociologically about globalization. I also like its inclusion of feminist theory and general gender issues through out the book, not just in the gender chapter. I highly recommend it.

I thought this book was really helpful in introducing the basic terms and concepts of Sociology. Everything is clear cut and really easy to understand. This is a great book if you're just starting to learn about Sociology. If you are already a pro then you probably will only need this book to refresh some basic concepts.

A. R. Snyder
This text is an excellent, well-organized compilation of basic sociology. It incorporates many recent examples- i.e. the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and presents the concepts in a way that is easy to absorb...that's pretty much it; an overall great text.
