Accessibly written chapters illustrate the history and practice of
sociological work. Recent areas of social science inquiry, e.g.,
globalization and the Internet are also covered. There are profiles
of more than 70 notable sociologists. In addition, there is
information on training and working as a sociologist. This book
provides an introduction to core conepts in sociology. Written in a
readable, accessible style, it uses a mix of both classic studies
and current references to illustrate sociological concepts and to
underscore their continuing relevance. It examines what sociology
is, why sociology is important, and why we study it. It
demonstrates how various social forces impact our lives and form
our social experiences explaining that, when we understand these
forces, we can better make sense of the world around us, better
understand ourselves, and better participate in shaping the future
for ourselves and for others. The book extends traditional
applications of these core concepts by focusing on their
application to globalization and the Internet. A series of
biographical profiles highlight the careers of more than 70 notable
sociologists as well as others, who have contributed to the field.
There is a chapter devoted to careers in sociology. Each chapter
has a list of additional print and nonprint resources.
