Sociological Footprints: Introductory Readings in Sociology

The success behind Cargan and Ballantine's Sociological Footprints lies in the editors' selection of actual samples of both classic and current sociological studies. The readings serve to illustrate the connection between sociological concepts, theories, and everyday life, thereby helping students to gain a better understanding of these concepts and a new appreciation of the value of sociological research in explaining our social world.
