Essentials of Sociology by Anthony Giddens

Essentials of Sociology by Anthony Giddens

Essentials of Sociology moves students beyond their individual experiences by highlighting the macro social forces at work in our everyday lives. New Digital Life features in the Fifth Edition encourage students to think critically about how the Internet and smartphones are transforming the way we date, manage our health, and even practice religion. Innovative pedagogy, including end-of-chapter concept maps and a goal-focused organization, help students master the core concepts and see the big picture.

Readings for Sociology provides students with engaging selections that reveal the complexities of our social world and offer insights into sociological analysis. Garth Massey includes selections from popular and academic journals as well as lively book excerpts that will help students reach a new level of sociological understanding. While comprehensive in scope, offering a wide range of selections on the standard topics taught in introductory courses, this book particularly focuses on social inequality and race, class, and gender.
