Introducing Sociology

Grounded in a critical perspective, this fifth edition of Introducing Sociology provides an accessible overview of the basic concepts, assumptions, and approaches that sociologists use to investigate human social behaviour. With a particular focus on key developments in sociological theory, the authors explore how theory relates to real-world issues. Emphasizing the promise of the sociological imagination throughout, this analytical introduction gives students the foundation they need to begin thinking about themselves and the world from a sociological point of view.
