Description:

Unique for its blend of style and substance, this introduction to sociology is thorough yet manageable. Thio uses a balanced and systematic application of sociological theory throughout to help readers see the difference between myths and realities about society, and provides integrated coverage of feminist views on various social issues and the contributions of feminist theorists. The sixth edition features new social maps, figures and tables including: women¿s participation in the Olympics (Ch. 1), the vocabulary of teen-speak (Ch. 3), parental concern about risk-taking behavior by their teenage children (Ch. 3), global Internet usage (Ch. 4), the military as both a coercive and normative organization (Ch. 5), U.S. class structure (Ch. 7), world-wide deaths from smoking (Ch. 13).
