This mainstream text presents both the diversity and the unifying key concepts and approaches of contemporary sociology. Using five key concepts - social structure, culture, power, functional integration and social action - it shows students this diversity, while avoiding the common pitfall of presenting sociology as though it were hopelessly divided by competing perspectives. The five key-concepts approach encourages critical thinking that shows how sociologists can both share an approach and still see different dimensions of a problem. Emphasis is on visual sociology, which teaches students how to look at the world around them through new eyes, by presenting graphic image as a basic part of sociology, and global/local integration worldwide, showing students how international factors shape life in the US and how social action in the US shapes international issues, such as the drug trade or the state of the environment. The section on the environment, new to this edition, discusses rain forests, air pollution and water pollution. An instructor's manual (ISBN 0-07-037939-4) is also available.
