Sociology: Cultural Diversity in a Changing World

This edition contains 14 chapters which cover all core topics usually taught in an introductory sociology course. The strong multicultural component of the book is developed through the extensive use of examples in every chapter, a set of boxed inserts, effective use of maps, and inserts at the end of each chapter. The themes of modernization and social change are emphasized throughout and include discussions such as the effects of development on traditional institutions like family and religion.
