Sociology

In this innovative introductory sociology text, Lorne Tepperman and James Curtis assemble and impressive array of experts to explain key concepts of sociology in ways that students will understand and enjoy.

The subjects covered include both those close to readers' everyday lives--socialization, gender, education--and those perhaps further removed but just as important to understanding society--devicance, politics, the environment.

Sociology: A Canadian Perspective also includes chapters on the theory and methods of sociology, allowing students deeper understanding of the various subjects studied by sociologist and introducing them to the tools they themselves can use to do sociology.

Distinctive features such as thought-provoking 'First Person' boxes provide an intriguing glimpse into why the contributors chose to make sociology their lifework. The whole is rounded out with powerful theme boxes, tables, figures, and photographs that deepen students' understanding of sociology
and bring it to life.

Sociology: A Canadian Perspective provides all the essentials of an introductory sociology text with a visually stimulating design and effective pedagogy. The result is a text that is sure to captivate students' attention and teach them that sociology has coherence, substantive content, and
