Highly respected for its scholarship and straightforward
approach, Sociology: The Core covers core sociological concepts
with a brief and accessible presentation at an affordable price. In
the ninth edition, Sociology once again comes alive as a vital and
exciting field to relate sociological principles to real-world
circumstances. New “What Can Sociology Do For You?” sections
introduce the careers and provide educational recommendations for
students that decide to pursue a degree in Sociology.
