This balanced, mainstream, beautifully written and totally up-to-date text is unrivalled in its ability to get students to see the connection between themselves and the social world. It teaches students -how- to think sociologically, not just -what- to think, and emphasizes the importance of diversity and a global perspective.. It has been heralded for its inclusion of pop culture examples that instantly connect with today's students, and for its presentation of sociological concepts in a fresh, contemporary light. The Brief Second Edition now includes a more appealing art program, a benchmarked table of contents, and new movie reviews in the popular -Sociology at the Movies- boxes that explore the sociological messages within recent movies such as -Crash-, -Brokeback Mountain-, -Syriana-, and many others. The authors also draw upon the real world with examples from Chris Rock's stand-up routine, the hip hop music scene, and the rituals of the Super Bowl, as well as scholarly discussions of topics ranging from race and poverty to religious practices.
